well from what I have been able to gather, it depends on the time of day/ weather/ and season for what I should be using, I grew up on just using nightcrawlers but Im quickly learning that, that isnt the best. Im really not sure what type of bait to use and when. Im pretty much starting everything from scratch so at the moment I have a few spinners, and a handful of plastics, couple of cranks and I usually go buy nightcrawlers before I head out. Basically I am open to all suggestions from rod/reel to lures. Thanks Brian I really appreciate your help in getting started! Corey

Thanks I appreciate the welcoming, so you would recommend a baitcast for the versatility that comes with it. I have done a little bit of reasearch on my own and as you said there are both sides, so what u saod helped a lot, thanks! hope I catch a decent size corey

As far as money I'm willing to spend, around 200 as long as its worth it. I dont have a problem spending a little more but of course I would rather not spend it if I dont need to. Is it the case of you get what you pay for in this instance? thanks again for the help corey

I'm fairly new to fishing but I enjoy going out, I am going to purchase a new rod and reel, but I don't know the pros and cons of baitcasting reels v.s. spinner reels. Can anyone help me decided which route I should go.. If it helps I am going to be fishing mostly in a lake that has very little vegetation. Does anyone have any suggestions to a particular brand or model that has proven worth? Thanks for the help Corey
