If you break your rod on a bass with combo, be sure to tip your hat to that hog as he swims away...
I personaly dont like bait casting reels, "I only have 150+ of them [:p]... lol but I do like the way this one looks, It is perdy and looks rugged enough with out all that plastic housing...
I have done it, so go ahead and laugh, that 30 inch lunker died of winter kill, I battled him a dozen times over 10 years.
anyway, that should work for well for you, its not the best match, but it is in the ball park.
what you want to do now is spend just a couple more dollars and buy your self some casting plugs. they are cheep but worth thier weight in rodium as a learning tool.
Find your self a clean serface water or clean tile floor hallway to start praticing.
That rod should hold up for you for many years so long as you dont step on it or slam it in the door. I think you will be ok with this combo. Be sure to read the instructions on setting your casting barrol.
If you should break this rod, I am not saying take this one back because it will, it is a fine rod. I am saying if you do break it, there is a rino glowtip series that makes a great bass rod, I have one that I use for salmon if that tells you anything about what that rod can handle. the only thing I have seen stronger is an ugly stick.
Hope to see some hogs comming from your way soon. I think you will be vary happy with this combo once you get the casting part down.
