Shawnmullins Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 My names Shawn (obviously from the user name haha) I'm from Massachusetts just south of Boston and recently got more into fishing. I use to fish a lot as a kid but kind of stopped having the time to go. A friend rekindled the love for reeling in a nice bass. For a while I've used a Shakespeare Spinning combo I got as a kit from an uncle. I like the reel but the rod is flimsy and never ventured into "bobberless" styles until recently. Last weekend I picked up my first Baitcaster from the local Bass Pro and it's a pain to learn but when it feels right it's one hell of a cast. Some backlash here and there but I'm slowing picking it up and understanding more of this "educated thumb" mumbo jumbo haha. Luckily I have had a good friend help me with the massive birds nest I've created on occasions. With that I'm using a 20 pound power pro braid. Caught my first bass with it on the second day at around 15/16 inches (with a Wacky rig and Senkos) only catch of the day but it was worth it. It's good fun and I'm glad to be enjoying it again.
