I started my fishing adventures under Dwight D Eisenhower's watch. It felt natural after the first bite took my bobber & red worm under attached to a cane pole. I was ten at the time. Like most guys I got away from fishing during my late teen years & earlier adulthood but got right back into it after marriage & enjoy it always.

I use to catch my fair share of walleye while casting for bass with that old River Runt back in 60's.

Tell us what kind of rod you are currently using & like. Then you will get some recommendations better suited to your style. Some guys like short rods with fast action. Other guys like longer rods with moderate action. It also depends on your line choice. Spinning or casting?
