Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I have posted, I haven't had much luck with my 6ft spinning cast rod combo I bought for about $40 at a tackle shop here. I have been fishing for bass mostly, and cats every now and then. I've had quite a few bites but they always seem to either snap my line, or jump off.
My supportive wife of my fishing habit went out tonight and bought me a 7ft bass proshop graphite medium heavy rod and a Shimano Citical baitcast reel. She said that one of the guys at BPS helped her with the setup and said it's a great bassrod and a good reel to get started with when trying to learn to cast with baitcasters.
I'm extremely excited about giving this setup a try, they spooled it with 14lbs line. I was wondering what you all thought about this setup and if any of you gurus had some tips for me starting out with it? Any good lures or jigs to try with it if it's a good setup?
