Suggest A New Sub-$100 Baitcasting Reel
If you really need more drag you could just tighten your thumb down on the spool when it slips.

Finding The Right Gal
I can't help but to feel bad for you guys that doesn't have a significant other that shares in your main hobbies, primarily fishing. The point of being outdoors and absorbing the wildlife, enjoying the challenge that comes with it and really spending that time with your soul mate makes it worth so much more to me. I find it more delightful seeing my wife catch a bigger bass than me.

What's Your Grocery Bill Each Month?
I don't keep track, but I also don't buy a lot of brand name foods and go for the house brands since many are produced in the same factories as other products

Can Cops Ask You For Your Fishing License?
AK, You said "a" community, so I'm assuming it's not yours? For the most part I would say it's private and that doesn't need signs

Hi From A Beginner In Pa.
For spinning there's the Berkeley Rod Shock 7' medium for around $36 and a Shimano Sellus 7"1 medium $39 at walmart online. Both are very good for under $40. For reels the Pflueger President can be had for $50-60 depending on reel size and dealer. You can also look on ebay for cheaper prices from a reputable dealer.

Anyone Tow With A Minivan?
I can only find ratings up to 1800lbs. One big factor you'll need is power, you don't want to get stuck trying to get up a hill. Just cause the towing capacity says you can and you can drive it on flat land fine doesn't mean you can pull it uphill. Same goes for braking. Since you're in PA you'll know those Appalachians are bad on hills Never been into the caravan crowd so I couldn't give you a real answer but upgrading your minivan with bigger calipers/rotors, rebuilding the trans to handle pulling could cost more than what it's worth. I suggest you trade in for an suv that's rated with more power/capacity

Different Fishing Rods
It seems like you need a MH rod, tighten your drag done more and when they strike you need to reel in fast. Having them dive into thick cover is the last thing you need so you have to think quickly and keep them out.

Being Told Not To Fish Here
If DEP says its public and legal, go fish there, if the guy complains again tell him to call the cops or you will. I've been though this before and called the cops on ignorant fools harassing disabled folks. They get knocked off their high horse when the law comes around.

Not just fishing gear, d**n near everything has the prop 65 warning. You should see the cars with the 6" sticker on the drivers window.
