I’ve been ice fishing with my husband for the past few years and want to get him a new rod/reel combo for Christmas, but I’m realizing I’m a bit of a noob as far as knowing what to get. He mostly has pan fishing rods and we use rattle reels for walleye. I want to get him something more versatile that can handle walleye, but also be used for pan fishing. I’m looking at JT Outdoors Gold Digger or Black Reign, and I understand the GD is medium light while the BR is medium. For reels I’m looking at the Okuma Ceymar Baitfeeder or regular spinning reel. I guess my question is, can this reel be used for either rod, and which combo makes the most sense for what I’m looking for? Do I get the 500 or 1000 model? Or if you have any other suggestions I would gladly take them. Thank you!
