Hey Guys,
Been a while since I've been on.
Well I found a really nice Bass Pro Shop Extreme Rod & Reel Combo ETX 1000 LPHB set up on 6'6 Woo Davis Med action rod.
Gave $35 for it at a Pawn shop.
I took it by my local Tackle shop and this "Grizzly Adams" looking fellow starts right in badmouthing the reel, my line selection and my estimated learning curve (switching from 30 yrs of spinning reels). He croaked constantly that I need a Calcutta or Ambassador..."else I"ll just give up on bait-casting all together!"...obviously he's a Prophet as well!
Is this a decent set-up to learn how to use a bait-caster or would the US Reels such as the Liberty be a better choice?
Kinda looking for the path of least resistance, but I am a fairly quick study!
Any thoughts/feedback?
Thanks
Reg
