YO-YO rig suggestions por favor...

[Stik'umGud!]

What's up, folks...I came across this site last night and so here I go. I need a yo-yo set up but I'm on budget! (Wuts new, huh?) Anyway I have to keep costs low because I need to get a trolling/dropper set up in the near future as well.

Efficient Yo-yo rig between $150 and $250 possible???????? Is Okuma any good?????????

Thanx for the help!

if you are on a budget then you could use the same rig for dropper and yo-yo, 50# will work for dropper if it has to, trolling yes you need more than 50 usually, but you could get away with a 6/0 reel for the troll very cheap down the line, and im sure you could borrow a boat rig for the troll also, before you had enough for your own. i would invest a little more if possible in the setup, another $40-60 will make a difference, any calstar or seeker fiberglass rod rated near 40-60 will be fine, should set you at about $150 and then a reel like baja special ( going for like 200 new now, probally get one used for 130-150, might even have spectra on it already. that puts you at about $300 out the door which isnt bad for an outfit that will fish the same as a much more $$$ setup.

Daiwa VIP 6460M 25#-60#, ($94.95), and Sealine 40 or 50, ($119.95). This combo should do you right, and stays within your budget.

Check out the classifieds on here... You can buy used quality stuff cheaper than new lower grade stuff! Any more questions just ask.

If I was going to buy new I would do what Kevan from Noah's said. Very good setup that will last you forever.
YoYo jigs swim best IMO on #50lb mono with spectra backing. The spectra allows the line to have less drag on it at depth due to how thin it is...
