Been surf fishing the salt for 50+ years but as of late I've had to make some lifestyle adjustments and have been doing a lot of walking/light hiking that has brought me by many ponds and creeks which has rekindled my interest in freshwater fishing which I haven't done since my early 20s.
Just made the investment in a St.Croix Triumph 6'6" ML spinning rod and hung a Shimano Sedona 2500 on it.Much like many things in life no one tool can do everything but this will be a good start for the types/areas I'll be fishing.
Patiently waiting for Spring.
