whats more important? a good reel or a good rod?
the reel is more important than a rod. if you spend 50 60 bucks on a reel you can pick a rod up at walmart for like 15 bucks that works very well. the rod i get is the shakesphere ecursion it works very well i pair it with a bass pro reel and the set up works very well

If you could have a lifetime supply......
striking king sexy shad rattle traps or berkley chigger craw
-
I'm giving you $150.00...
since you got the worms and all that good stuff, would reccomend berkley chigger craws, they work well for both jig trailers and just by themselves. rattle traps, i can never seem to go wrong with tieing on strike king red eyes shad in the sexy shad color usually always is a producer for me. i have never shakey head fished so i dont know what to tell you there. i do good with the enticer football head jigs in either black or pb&j color, with a watermelon candy or pumkin/green chigger craw as a trailer get a couple spinner baits i recommend strike king or booyah get a bunch of colors in everything so you can see what is going to work that day, and good luck

Tackle gadgets.

Help choosing spinning rod and reel
if you are fishing on a budget like myself, the way to go is to spend a little more money on a good reel that will last you a long time and a good rod. i get my reels from either bps stores or off line. the spinning reel that i fell in absoulte love with is the abu garcia cardinal 504 smooth as silk and durable, it runs about 80 bucks, and since i spent more than i normaly would on a reel i went to good old walmart and picked up a shakesphere excursion rod in medium 6'6", $14.95 and i couldn't be happier the reel is amazing and the rod as good feel and is durable under the load of even a 5+lb large mouth. and if for some reason the rod fails it is 15 bucks and i go to walmart and get a new one. i have spent big money on rods and i have found they are not worth it. i bought a st. coix i dont remember what kind it was but the tip broke off casting a worm and small 1/4 ounce wieght which was in the wieght limits of the rod. just some thoughts from my expirence

Overpriced.com
i agree that you get what you pay for. but on the other hand i am not going to pay 10-20 bucks for a lure that i am going to lose by snagging an underwater stumb or in the lakes in delaware they put old christmas trees in the lakes a while back to make stucture for fish and they are murder of rattle traps and cranks. for that fact i get just as much luck from bps brand. the only thing i will pay over 5 bucks for is strike king sexy shad rattle traps because it has proven itself to me again and again
