Have it on 90 percent of my bait casters and spinning. Been using it for years. Great abrasion, knot strength and memory and casting distance. Make sure it's the Cajun Red Casting for super distance and little memory. Soft & supple and I could not care less what the naysayers say of it. Happy New Year Old school basser...

Fished a lot of ponds in my day and never caught a spot in a pond. Caught them elsewhere and they are pound for pound, inch for inch, one of the best fighting fish anywhere. http://www.pondboss.com/index.asp Old school basser...

Love mine. Over 10 years old and still fully capable. On occasion, use it for small spinner baits, plastics and small top waters and buzz baits. Great overall reel. 6:1:1, 10BBS, ok drag and blistering 32 inches per handle turn retrieval. Old school basser...

All the recommendations I'm certain are good. One more: don't overlook the lowly Cabela's Fish Eagle Rod. Promise. Old school basser...

I'm not going to flame on you or snicker and you should not feel embarrassed if you use a spin cast. I've been in the boat with some who use them a lot. I use them when I'm in tight quarters. For example: I have fished homes located close to the water with canals running through the subdivision with docks, piers, boats and other objects in these canals. Can be pretty tight at times. Ever fished and said good morning to a resident sitting on their back patio area? The spin cast works for me in these quarters to skip and make very short casts. I have used Zebco, Johnson & Shakespeare spin cast and I'm not embarrassed in the least. Any of these will get the job done. Merry Christmas Old school basser...

Don't forget the thumb. The best I've ever seen have a smart thumb that is precise and can feather a cast with ease. Not easily done. Some will master it. Most won't. Life ain't fair but it sure beats the alternative. Old school basser...

The more I fish, the more I love the spinner bait and how versatile it really is. It's a Humdinger. Old school basser...

The only thing a guy like that understands is a swift kick in the tail. Don't do that. Get you in trouble. But rack it up to experience and know what you're dealing with as you go forward in all walks of life. Old school basser...

Can't go wrong with a Pflueger baitcaster. I own 2 over 10 years old that have been fished hard and still going strong. Supreme & Trion that were both at 99.99 that I picked up at a discount on BPS year end sale. Promise. Old school basser...

Let me put in a good word for the great state of Mississippi. In the northern part of the state crappie fishing is great along with bass fishing. Move down south a bit and you still have great crappie fishing with bass caught in the mid teens. You like the rugged outdoors style of fishing? Places like Black Creek that wind through a national forest giving the fishermen opportunities for Crappie, LMB, Spotted Bass, Catfish and Red Bellies while seeing deer on the banks and winding through a path of breath taking nature are common. Go further South to the coast and bassers are fishing in brackish water in the coastal waters while their salt water brethren are wading for Specks and Reds all up and down the coast. Of course, deep sea fishing provides guides with a nice living. Just a small sample. Old school basser
