Thanks to ChuckStreamer's messages regarding the Bass Anglers Federation, I think I'll be trying to start attending their meetings. I've even already put in a time off request at work to attend the March meeting, though I can't really afford to take two days off in the same weekend for the tournament as well, so looks like April will be my first shot at a tournament.
And thanks for the advice, John. I had read that co-anglers are expected to pitch in, but I'm glad you mentioned how much, because I would have had no idea what to bring.
As to the rods, are there certain types/weights/lengths of rods that are intended as jig rods or drop shot rods? I've pretty much got all spinning gear of various weights and speeds, though I'm trying to convince my wife to allow me to buy a baitcaster pretty soon. I was thinking 7' medium as a cranking road, but I'm open to suggestions as it will be my first baitcaster setup.
