Oh Im not trying to over think it all, Im just trying to figure out what types of stuff works. It seems I have a fairly large assortment of tackle that I somehow just accumulated over the years from yard sales, landfils, and family. Anything I dont use is getting packed and sent to Montana, so I want to make sure I keep everything that is potentially usefull.
Speaking of useful should one have a landing net? I know how much of a PITA it is to land some slippery 15" trout so would a net be a worthy tool to have?
So far I am looking at an 8'6" Ugly Stike Lite Salmon/Steelhead but I cant not find a reel.
I guess Im sort of spinning reel shy. In the past 4 or 5 years I have destroyed 3 reels. I dont even spin fish much but they have all failed. First was a cheap shakespear reel. Next was a $50 Pfleuger, last was an older yet pretty expensive shimano. The spool literally came loose and went flying when I was casting. Something inside sheared off. I dont abuse the reels and they only get used for bass/blue gills but they dont hold up.
