Welcome aboard, Jacob!
Do a search of the forums for what you're looking for.
Lots of information has already been discussed.
But for your range, a Daiwa or Shimano is a tough
piece of equipment to beat!
Smooth as glass!! Don't see a lot of that in my lakes, usually
when the sun is setting and its time to get off the water (sunset
rules for local reservoirs).
No, LOL. I tried it once and just felt is wasn't for
me...doesn't mean I won't try another time, but
my success is greater, obviously, with a normal
DS rig, since I've used that so much more
Welcome aboard!
Only one rod I own is near that range, though
south of $300, $250 ish to be true, so I can't
really recommend one north of it, other than
St. Croix!
Fan of Cabs and Merlots, myself.
Brands? Can't afford expensive stuff, so stick
to favs like Rex Goliath and such. Those which
don't give me headaches!
I have a 6'6" BPS Carbonlite (black) in ML. Loads and casts
extremely well with my Chronarch 50e. Throws some very
light baits with ease - like a weightless Zoom Finesse worm
and lighter stuff than that.
Very sorry for your loss, bud. I'm 47 and lost my mother last
year abruptly to a stroke. Was very difficult. You will get thru
this. I promise. Remember her, cherish her memory, think of
her often as I know you will. Hang in there and may the Cubbies
win the series for her!!
Welcome aboard!
I use 6# line, especially when the bite is tough, and even
when it is not! I'll go anywhere from 4#-15# as a leader
on my setups.
I think you're on the right track with your gear. I personally
fish the wacky rig and drop shot more than the TX rig, but
TX is a proven fish catcher and AOK to start out with.
