Schwegel 89 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Hey, how is everyone! I'm new to the site and particularly new to bass fishing. I've fished for about 10 years but with live bait and for anything but now i'm starting to fish strictly bass. My uncle loves bass fishing and I've gone with him a few times and really enjoyed it so here I am trying to get a few extra pointers. I'm 20 and got to college and work full time but I get out on a lake as much as I can. I have 2 rods one is a abu garcia spinning reel with a cherrywood rod 6 foot 6 inch. With 10 stren on it. My second rod which I just bought today is a abu garcia black max bait caster with a flipping switch and a ugly stick 6 foot 6 inch medium rod with 20 spider wire. I also picked up some senkos, frogs, spinner and buzz baits. With a few crank baits as well. I'm getting my boating certification in one week and my uncle said when I get it I can use his lowe bass boat whenever I want to I'm going to start entering local tournaments also. But just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. Thanks for reading Quote

Schwegel 89 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 thanks everyone I have a quick question I just bought my abu garcia black max bait caster and I spooled it with 20lb spiderwire mono line and I was wondering is that to heavy its use will be jigs, spinner baits, buzz baits, and crank baits. I have a spinning rod that i use for my plastics and lighter lures. Thanks Quote
