Greetings! I am brand spanking new to the sport. I inherited some fishing equipment and am unsure just what to use it for. I have a Shimano Sellus ultra light rod with a pflueger trion spinning reel and an Abu Garcia Vengeance medium rod with a pflueger president spinning reel. Both 6'6". Just beginner stuff I think. The tackle box that came with them is filled with this type of bait: (1) floating and countdown rapalas size 01, 03, and 05, (2) rattling rapala 04, (3) in line spinners, hum dingers, spoons, kast masters 1/4oz and under, (4) various bait hooks (5) 1/32 jigs with plastic grubs, and (5) several bags of 2" plastic shad and 4" roboworms. There are also containers of firebait in various colors. So, I checked YouTube and think these are for trout, bluegill, crappie, smallmouth bass, perch, and similar types of fish. I also think I may be needing a medium light rod and not the ultra light I recieved? One salesman at a local store said the UL is perfect and another said to get a ML. I'm a little confused. Also both rods have p-line fluroclear 8 & 6 lb test that was in the box. I think I'd like to try drop shot, some wacky rigging, and Texas rigging too. I saw it on the videos. Too ambitious? Am I on the right track with what I've got? Sorry if that's too much or not the right info. It's my first forum post. Thanks for any help.
