Being new to the sport of bass fishing I have a few questions about line selection. First off I took some advice of others and purchased a spinning rod and reel to "do it all" for now. So wat would be a good pound test for "doing it all" and generally fishing ponds and lakes? Also what brand do you guys prefer? And last is it difficult to spool a spinning reel?Thanks for any advice.....

I'd like to say hi to everyone on hear im a new member and pretty new to bass fishing. I was wondering if I could also recieve the forward on wacky rigging...it would be tons of help thanks and look forward to meeting you all.
