Ed’s Bait in Wallaceburg carries an assortment of reliable and reputable products when it comes to rods and reels.

Dave McCready, owner of the Wallaceburg shop, said the biggest company they carry for rods and reels would be Shimano.

“Probably about 50 or 60% of the rod and reels out the door are Shimano. It’s a very reputable, reliable product. I use their spinning reels exclusively.”

Dave said another brand that is brand new to Canada this last year and a half would be Dobyns.

“They are based out of California. They are some fairly high end rods made out of some very high end materials. I fish their rods exclusively personally. They are a great rod. They are going to be in the higher end category. They will start at $149 and skyrocket from there pretty well.”

Dave said you can catch an assortment of different fish with these rods, depending on the season.

“Myself, in the spring we are out walleye fishing, vertical jig in the St.Clair River and Detroit River. Throughout the summer, as soon as bass season opens, we are fishing Lake St.Clair, St.Clair River, Lake Huron, and Rondeau Bay.”

Dave said throughout the winter Ed’s Bait carries a decent selection of ice fishing rods.

“We have got North Wind, Berkley, and a few others. We carry a line of small bluegill, panfish rods from a local guy in West Lorne that hand ties them all and makes all the handles, that’s the Southwest Custom rods.”

Dave added: “We carry some rods and reels from Okuma, we carry Lew’s, which is another one new to the area. We carry quite a few of their reels and a light selection of their rods. We carry Abu Garcia, Fenwick and we have got some Quantum rods and reels in as well.
