Hello everyone! I just started getting back into bass fishing since I was 13 now 27. I bought a boat recently because I got it for a great deal 16ft skeeter with a 90hp Yamaha.
Now on to my question. I am trying to pick out my rods and reels for all the different kinds of fishing i could do. (spinnerbait, crankbait, texas rigged worms and creatures, flipping etc.)
So far I have 2 rods and three reels.
My first rod and reel I have given to me as a gift is.
Academy - Abu Garcia® Blue Max / 6'6" MH Freshwater/Saltwater Baitcast Rod and Reel Combo
My second reel is a ambassaduer 6500C older model my dad gave me.
My second rod is a shakespear excalibur 6 foot 6 inch MH ($15 at walmart)
My third reel is a H2o mettle I bought last week on sale. Academy - H2O XPRESS
My dad tells me I should have atleast 6 rods and reels to cover any situation you get into. I also read this here Selecting Rods and Reels | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
First I have been looking at this rod online any one know if its a good rod http://www.cabelas.com/casting-rods-berkley-lightning-rod-shock-casting-rods.shtml?WT.tsrc=CSE&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=02740401&rid=40&mr:trackingCode=E1CC62CB-958E-DF11-A0C8-002219318F67&mr:referralID=NA&mr:adType=pla&mr:ad=5855056944&mr:keyword={keyword}
Second How would you set up your rods and reels, also how many (basically any details or advice you would like to give me would be much appreciated.)
