I can do that. I used to fish all the time when i was a kid, but that was pretty much just bobber fishin. I started fishing again about a year and a half ago. Right now im fishin spinning gear. When i fish the river i use a medium action rod and when i fish the canal i use a light action rod. So i was thinking that the baitcast would be good for the river, where there are lots of big fish, and i would be able to use bigger and heavier lures. The canal probably not so much. I hope that helps Reel mechanic, im no expert here so try to bear with me. Thanks for the posts guys!
