Welcome aboard, Matthew! Best rod and reel is very subjective, but I'll give you my fav setup, a Shimano Chronarch 50e and a BPS Carbonlite rod, 6'6" MF. I also swap it to a ML of the same brand on occasion if I want to go lighter. I think you'll have a great time with a MF to MHF for throwing big worms and such.

Welcome aboard! Around downed trees I always throw wacky rigs. As well, are you fishing slow enough? Rule of thumb in tough conditions when nothing is working, slow down your presentation. And when you think you are slow enough, slow down a little more. As well, try downsizing. Throw a split shot rig with a smaller worm (3-4" max) rigged TX on a small hook in the 1/0-2 range (round bend or EWG). Put a split shot weight up about 8-14" inches from the bait and hop it along, or drag it along the bottom. Think of it as a small C-rig. Sometimes in retention ponds the shallow depth makes for a tough bite. At least this is my experience.

You and your crankbaits, A-Jay.

Oh man, that's a belly ache laugh!!! I can go to sleep in peace tonight. After I watch Sound of Silence again....

Have to admit, I was caught off guard on this. I love it. The more I watch/listen, the more it grows on me. The original is priceless, but this is a just rendition, in my estimation. My eldest son was flabbergasted that I told him to watch it yesterday.... He asked me if I remember all the times he asked me to watch it. I said..."what?"

So many fish...uncaught... Very sad revelation, my friend... What's even sadder is probably the number of bass I've left uncaught...but that's a topic for another day....

Awww, A-Jay, the rig is rigged wrong! One word: Perpendicular! Ok, sentence: perpendicular with no o-ring Shrink wrap is ok. But major props for the best rig on the planet. You're a cool cat, I don't care what Jeff says.

If a day is shaping up to be a skunk, I'll take any bass that bites. ANY. On the whole, of course I want size, but on the reality side of things, I am happy with a tug on the end of my line resulting in a catch.
