Decided on a budget rod and reel combo. Thanks for the help all! Rod 7 foot medium (possibly medium light I still need to check the rods out at a store) action Ugly Stik Elite. 60$ and Daiwa RG-AB. The problem is that I cant decide between size 3000 and 2500. the size 3000 weighs as much as my size 40 Pflueger President Limited Edition. I suppose I will have to look them over in the store. I learned that the hard way by buying the President LE without even holding it. I bought it on just reviews and I hate that reel. Its not even that smooth for 80$. Wish I could take it back now but it's too late Haha Anyway size 2500 or 3000. (8lb mono line and Species would be mostly Largemouth Bass, But also Bluegills Walleyes and Possibly Pike.
