With 100 lb braided and treble hooks... ;D ;D ;D

And a 25 foot of leader or if you can coil it up on the bank in the 50 foot range. and make sure to drift for 100 meters. hahaha

You'll probably be able to find a float fishing combo at a tackle shop for around $200.  Personally, I like Abu round reels- simple, durable and they perform plenty well.  An Abu 5600C4 or C3 would be a good choice.  The Fenwick 10.5' HMX is a great rod for relatively cheap, its a softer rod and flexes nicely.  Everyone jumps to say Maxima Ultragreen is THE line the buy, but I prefer Berkley Trilene Big Game- its cheaper, much longer lasting and just as strong.  Its a higher quality line IMO.

Thanks so much for the great feedback Matt and Adriaticum! Really appreciate it!  ;D
