Hello! My names Joseph and I am 15 years old. I have been fishing for most of my life but recently this past year I have really gotten into bass fishing. I have decided that I would like to get my own rod and reel set up instead of using my dads. So I was wondering what rod would be best for the type of fishing I do. I fish ponds and creeks, mainly using worms, creature baits, crawls, and crackbaits. I have decided that I want to get the Abu Garcia Black Max Low Profile BMAX3 reel, but if anyone has a better reel for around the same price tag let me know. Thanks. have a great day / night!
