Hey all, this is my first post here. I never fished much as a kid, but my buddy took me out last weekend and I had a blast! This Sunday we're gonna go out again for some largemouth bass. Right now pretty much the only (and I mean ONLY) fishing gear I have is a cheapo rod/reel, some hooks and some split shot.
Tonight I'd like to pick up some gear, and your suggestions would be appreciated. I plan to get:
Shakespeare Ugly Stik Rod/Reel combo (size suggestions appreciated)
Gloves
Line
Maybe some artificial baits (suggestions appreciated)
Anyone have an Ugly Stik? Are you happy with it? Would you suggest a different rod?
I'm in Maryland and I plan on mostly fishing for bass and trout, if that affects your suggestions at all. Right now most of my fishing is done on the banks/in the river/on the pier/etc., but I imagine I will make it out onto a boat at some point.
Thanks in advance!
