Critical Point

I got a Symetre a little while back, it's definitely been an excellent buy, and I am very happy with it. Great reel for the price, hopefully it continues to perform years from now.

Yeah didn't get a chance to head over to BPS today, so no new reel yet. I would be using it for crank baits, as I have a spinning reel set up for worms and soft plastics n stuff. But, yeah thanks for the help, I greatly appreciate it.

That is probably what I'm leaning toward, if I go with the 100 I'll get the 6'6" MM and if I go with the 200 D I'll go ahead and get the 7' MF. Thanks. Also, is Ugly Stik a good brand?

Lol, I've read like a hundred things about that, keeping my thumb on it will be the first thing on my mind lol.

Hey fellas, I'm probably going to get a Citica tomorrow, and it will be my first bait caster, what size rod should I go with? and what brand? lb of line? Also if you have any tips about helping me learn how to use it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.

Horrible stuff, sometimes you don't even realize how close you are to this fate, this should definitely make everyone think a bit more, I know I will. I really feel bad for families that go through this.

Thanks for the heads up, I woulda made the mistake of buying up here, but yeah, I'll be down there around June 15thish, so I'll shoot you one then. Thanks.

Yeah I've been reading a lot of the Begginer articles, and they are excellent, I've really learned a lot in a very short period of time. Looks like I'm gonna have to start figuring out some jigs and give them a try, thanks for your help guys, and it's nice to meet yall.

Yeah, I sort of did a little of that today, talking to a few guys about what's been working and what not. I guess the good thing is, I'm not completely new to Bass Fishing, since I have been around it awhile, and know how to do some of the stuff, it's just there is a lot more I need to know, lol. But yeah. I've pretty much figured some of that out.

Hey my name is Cole, I'm new to here, and relatively fairly new into Bass fishing. I just started getting interested into it about a month ago and haven't even had the chance to get my lure selection, tackle box, and equipment set up. I live in North Carolina for about 3 or 4 more weeks before I will be moving down to Plant City Florida where I will be going to college soon and working. So anyway, I will probably be getting more involved when I move down to Florida and have the summer to get all set up. I've been reading the forums for a little bit and decided I might as well join in. You all have already helped me quite a bit. Alright, now for a bit of a question or poll type thing. If you were putting together a Tackle Box / Lure Selection and rod and reel from scratch what are you going with? I mainly want to see where to start with. I pretty much already have trick worms and shakey heads in along with a couple spinners and a couple Rapalas. Other than that I have open space and an open mind, I'm really looking to learn a lot, because I intend on doing this for a long time. Thanks a lot, and it's very nice to meet you all. Sorry if this intro thing shoulda been in Tackle section!
