New member here. I grew up bass fishing in small ponds and lakes in Central Florida. I pretty much strictly fished with Texas rigged plastic worms. It's been over a decade since I've gone bass fishing and over 15 years since I fished consistently. I decided I really wanted to get back into it so I came here looking for rod/reel suggestions that were going to perform well but not break the bank.
Instead of starting a new thread asking for suggestions I've spent the last week or so searching through as many threads as possible. After doing that I purchased a Flueger President spinning reel and a Lew's Speed Spool LFS baitcaster and they are both going on Berkley Lightning Shock rods.
I wouldn't have been able to come to those decisions without all of you who have taken the time to answer the numerous "What's the best rod/reel under $100?" threads. I look forward to continually learning from all of you in the future.
