Looking to spend approximately $350.00 so $300.00-$400.00 setups are welcomed! I prefer spinnerbaits and gonna try Senkos.Fishing locations consist of majority river/dams with reservoirs on weekends. Length 6-7' preferred.Suggestions for Rod/Reel/Line Size?

Green is probably better. Clear obviously for clearer water on sunny days. Green is more for the water your saying and in vegetation/whatnot. Depending on your fishing technique and what your using line size/color doesnt always matter if your pulling it quickly enough. Green/Clear isnt a large difference that will have too much of an effect.

I try to find reels with majority being positive. Than just check the negative ratings and see what the issue is. Its mostly poor handling or misuse or the reel getting shipped broken. The main concern is it performing to your expectations, so going to the store to try it out is best if possible.

Pflueger Presidents make nice reels with 9 bearings

USA. Except for some of the cheaper older models Triumph

Should $ spent be even for reel and rod or is there 1 that should be far more expensive?

What is a good bass lure/technique for fishing above/below dams? Will Senkos or roadwarriors work? Any other suggestions? Also certain hotspots to look for near dams?

Also, St Croix vs G Loomis is there a preference for certain fishing techniques?

I am getting 1 or 2 new rod setups looking for advice...My Budget is around $300.00-$400.00.So I am torn between buying 1 expensive setup or 2 decent setups? For the 2 decent setups I was thinking Shimano Symetre Reels or Pflueger President XTs match with around $100 St Croix Rods for about $200.00 per rod set. The other choice is spend all on 1 rod setup in which I was considering the Shimano ci4f or Sustain reel $200-$250 matched with a $200 or so St. Croix. G Loomis. Doing mix of panfish bass fishing mostly from shore. Rod setups?Links to rods/reels would be appreciated! Spinning reels only please!

Instead of varying size lures from 1/32 oz. for blue gill to 1/2 oz for bass are there universal lures that catch a vast array of freshwater fish? I read another article on here that stated 1/16oz. roadrunners catch them all...any other lures on the market similar to this?? Also, rod setup recommendations for this so-called "universal lure"?
