Hello Folks, Al Cecil here. I am new to the bass fishing world as I have only been on the hunt for about 3 years now. I have gotten my rigs ready but don't think I have my addition right so I am going to give you the facts and see what kind of answer you come up with for me. I fish here in Alabama in any body of water I can. Logan Martin, small ponds and lakes near by Hoover (Birmingham), and anywhere I can. I am not a great catcher but I love to fish. I want to tell you my rods, my reels, and my lines so you can help me put together the right rigs for my fishing needs. I would like a worm setup to run Texas rigs or any other soft bait presentation. Secondly a crankbait rig. And I guess an all purpose set up. Please take a moment to look at what I have, offer any suggestions on what needs to be where and if I need to add anything else into the equation. Here Goes: Casting Rods: Ugly Stik Light Pro Casting 7' Med action Ugly Stik Light Pro Casting 6'6" Med/Heavy Action Berkley Lightning Rod IM7 6'6" Med Spinninng Rods: Ugly Stik Light Pro 7' Med action Spinning Ugly Stik Light Pro 6'6" Med action Spinning Baitcasters: Abu Garcia Silver Max Quantum Accurist AC500cx Spinning: Cardinal 102 Lines: Vanish Transition Gold 8lb Spiderwire XXX super mono 14lb Spiderwire stealth moss green 20lb Any suggestions on how to put all of these choices together to make the best rigs for soft plastics, crankbaits, and topwater/spinners? Also, just a note that I am a public school teacher in Alabama and am the only income for my family of 4 so please don't recommend that I run out and get a G-Loomis or a new reel, but if you have some to donate to a brother... I need all the help I can get! Thanks folks. Later. Al :-?
