That'll be a sweet memory !!!!!!!!!!!

Amazon.com has the PRM20 on sale for 189.79 from Reds Gear(free shipping) if anyone is interested.

Since you don't fish much , that outfit will do , especially for the cats.

Just not interested in store branded reels but that's just me , if you likem ,buy em.

WELCOME.

WELCOME.

Strickly relaxiation and the thrill of the next biggun.

Double yep.

I've heard nothing at all about them ,must be a local thing.

Yeah , you'll be able to use 15# fluro on a 4000 penn spinning reel but why are you so interested in Penn ?

No swivels for me.

They say you're never too young to learn.

I use braid in 20# & 30# but thats me.

Positive about the overkill. I' ve caught quit a few pike and muskie on 2500 reels but buy what you feel comfortable with.

I have the e20 reel and find it to be a very capable reel , just a little heavy but it gets the job done. A very good drag.

X2. an excellant combo for the price , between 150.00-160.00 at BPS.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion but.............

There are better rods in that price range.

Congrats on your new PB smallie !!!!!!!

WELCOME !!!!!!!!

Baitcasting is hard for a beginner to learn . The learning curve for a spinning outfit is much , much easier. How much money do you want to spend ? A decent beginner rod you can get for around forty dollars (Berkley Ligtning rod) and a decent spinning reel would run you about sixty dollars (Pflueger President 6730x).

Since you don't fish much at all , just about anything will do but the size of those Penn reels are definately an over kill.

A nice pudgy bass , probably 1.5-2.0 lbs.

Don't worry , he'll eventually catch his first and you can show him off here.

To answer your two questions. Yes and no.
