Thanks guys, thats what I was looking for. zero limit- that would be awesome if you point me to that forum.

What kind of gear/lures/equipment,etc do you need to fish for trout or salmon? I've fished for Bass and panfish for years but want to try something new. I've been trying to look online for what I need but haven't really found anything, so I'm looking for some advice from those of you who have experience trout or salmon fishing.

Thanks guys. Thats what I figured so it looks like I'll be getting a new Shimano Compre in the near future!!!Unless I can find a good deal in a Crucial... I went to gander mountain today and checked out the Premier, it's not a bad rod but I think I'd rather have the Compre.

I am looking for a new rod that will mainly be used for soft plastics maybe some cranking. Since I do all my fishing from shore I am looking at a 6'-6" M/F or MH/F. I've been looking at the Shimano Compre and Crucial as well as the St. Croix Premier which I've read on hear isn't all that good- the Avid's out of my price range. Looking for something in the $100-$150 range. Is the crucial that much better then the Compre? Or are there any other rods I should be looking at? Right now I think just about anything is better then my Ugly Stik. I'm going to be pairing this with a Shimano Sahara FD 3000 reel. Any feedback will be much appreciated, Thanks.
