I went to Bass Pro Shop today to check out the Compre 7' rod, the citica and BPS pro q. reel. Both reels were great and very similar, but my mind is on the bps reel since it's on sale and at $69 it's a steal. My main concern is on the rod because I'm only 5'4", the 7' rod kind of intimidate me. Should I opt for the 6'6" or 6' rod? or stick with a 7'?

Thank you everyone, I'll do more research and put everyone's opinions into considerations. again thank you.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

services is great, but if only they would offer more coupons/deals ;D

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to fishing and as a new angler I think joining a local bass club is a great way for me to learn more about being a fisherman. So since I've decided that, I like to start out with a baitcasting setup to use for the year round tournaments which they host. I've did some research on which rod and reel from the many helpful topics and articiles on here, but I still want hear on more opinions just to be on the safe side. The setup I've in mind are made to fit my budget, but if there's any other choice out there that you would recommend I will gladly look into it. I will mostly be using spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and jigs. with that said, I like to ask if it would be better if I go with a lighter or bigger line. The setup includes: Shimano Compre 7' Mh trigger rod Shimano Citica E baitcast reel Yo-Zuri 12lb Hybrid line I like to thank everyone opinions and advice beforehand. -Tom

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone around Baton Rouge area that would like a fishing partner. I recently started fishing and I like it a lot. It's just so relaxing to go sit down on a pier and cast away. With that being said, I don't have a boat so I am limited to where I can go. I usually fish at University Lake and BREC parks. Lately I've been trying to fish at a Brec park near my house, but I've yet to catch any due to people fishing right after the pond is stocked and not knowing when to release a fish back. I would like to experience fishing on a boat and fish other kind of fish species. I am 21/male and a part-time BRCC student. I would love to help out with cost and gas. I am new to fishing so I'm hoping to learn a lot more from experience people around me. If you like a good company and partner, please let me know. My email is Hmotorcross@gmail.com or just give me a pm Thank you, Tom
