Pro’s equipment

Some pros may donate their previous model/previous sponsor equipment to non-profit organizations like The Ike Foundation, which focuses on getting kids fishing. Also, as you noted, our presenters do indeed use a range or reels at various price points. I've looked up some of the reels on tackle warehouse and noted they were in the $150 range, which is pretty competitive for pro-level tackle. Cliff Crochet is with KastKing now, and I think their line tops out at $180.
