That helps even more thanks guys!

That's what I'm looking for thanks for the quick response! Much appreciated!

I have fished all my life but really got into bass fishing these last couple years. Been on bass resource since last year don't post much (I enjoy reading the articles and reading some of the wiser anglers posts. Anyway, I have a question about rod applications. I have a medium action rod and a reel which I think is a 6:3:1 ratio. With 15 pound test. I use this for my all my applications. I do know that this setup is pry optimized for certain applications. My two questions are, what applications should I use for the one set up I have, an what type of rod n reel combo should I look at getting next? I fish mostly lakes occasionally I get on a river. Have access to a boat. Thanks in advance.

Thanks all for the welcome looking to learn a lot!

I'm from the Peoria area as well.

Hello all my name is Josh and for part of the year I live in central Illinois along the Illinois River. The rest of the year I travel because of work. I saw this sight and the information that was on it and didn't hesitate to join. I have been fishing my whole life but started to take it seriously just this year after a friend took me out on his boat. Excited to learn all I can. Thanks!
