SGT Rico

We can say he has been blessed!! I can only dream of fishing for a living.

Thats a hoss!!!!!!

I lived in Puerto Rico for 9 years and was an avid sea fisherman. My brother and I were avid free divers and spear fisherman, then a good friend of mine asked me if I had ever caught a peacock bass, I said no, so he took me to a lake and we started to fish with live minnows. Then it happened, a big peacock took my bait and snapped my line. I could not believe what had happened, so we fished that whole day and eventually caught my first peacock. It wieghed around 2 pounds and was hooked form that day on!!!

Sounds good, Thanks

Thanks guys, Thats why I joined this forum, to learn learn learn. I live 30 minutes away from the basspro, so I will be making a stop there this week.

Also, the reel I have is also a Quantum, but looks cheap and its a 5:1 gear. It also only has 3 bearings.

Forgive me for my ingnorance, when it comes to ''Bass Tackle", I've been using a Quantum reel and rod combo I purchased at Bass Pro for 100 buck. Its a bill dance model, 6'6,MH action. I've been using this rod for everything, cranking, jiging, worms, everything. I want something mainly for Crankbaits and worms. I am not to savy on equipment and brands, but for what I've heard Shimano and Daiwa are the best of the best.

Its going to be mainly for Crankbaits and plastics, I am restricted to privately own ponds and those are what I mainly fish wish. Thanks for the reply

Lets say you have 170 dollars, and you are going to buy a baitcaster reel and a trigger rod, what would it be?? I am trying to decide what to buy,there are so many options..lol... Lets hear it boys!!!!
