Googan squad sucks. And this is coming from a young gun (22) Googan Baits are overpriced and have way too much oil, I'll stick with my rage craws and pit boss. Also heard they're making hard baits now, probably gonna be like 15 dollars for one little squarebill, screw that!

This is my ideal setup i'm gonna go for, I really want to get into the specifics of this sport I plan to have 3 casting rods and one spinning rod Already have a walmart abu combo on a ugly stick. Love it but I want more since I fish specific baitshahahaha Thanks for the advice Glaucus, my first order of business is to get a new medium heavy rod. Since my Abu garcia is starting to act up. Once I get that setup I'll probably get my Medium fast setup for cranks and other lightweight stuff. I plan on getting a Enigma p100 with a lews laser sg1 since it's in my price range as a new medium heavy

Hey all, I've recently got into fishing baitcasters and I want to expand my arsenal, I heard it's always good to just have medium heavies and I heard other people say you should have at least 5 different baitcasters with different sizes, (Medium fast, Crankbait rod, medium heavy, Heavy broom stick) I've been fishing for only bass for about 3 months now and my arsenal includes one baitcaster (Cheap 6:3:1 abu garcia) and a 6'6 ugly stick , I also have two spinning rods the same size (Medium action) Now I will be fishing the most basic Bass lures (Finesse, Cranks, Bottom baits, topwater, jigs, Spinners etc) but I just can't decided on what rod types I should get for each application and situation. I'm not asking for brand specifics just rod and reel sizes and types for the different situations I may encounter out on the water. I look foward to the responses!

I'm looking for something all around. Mainly I fish small ponds and occasionally larger private lakes in Northern New Jersey and Pennslyvania, I tried fishing with mini jigs by strike king but I mainly ended up with those slimy **** weeds most of the time on my hook and craw trailer. I need something that can get through that slimy stuff and weed beds. Rocks I'm not really worried about. I have a 6:3 gear Abu garcia low profile and a 6'6 medium heavy. I want to upgrade to maybe a 7'3 or 7'0 medium action for skipping but I need to find a decent price rod and reel setup. I also use 12lb flourocarbon for all my baitcasters and mono for spinning rods. How is the football jig around slimy weeds? I want something that won't have weeds on it everytime I bring it in

I really want to get into fishing jigs, this might be a thread for the fishing tackle area but as bass anglers do any of you guys have personal recommendations for a beginner jig fisherman? I've seen plenty of videos about them but from a more personal experience what would you guys recommend? Football head? Swim jig? Color combos etc? Types of trailers?
