I am in college, but I want to start back fishing. I have not fished in probably 6 or more years. I need to find a rod and reel to start back fishing. I live in south Alabama and will do a lot of river and pond fishing. I am looking at a Shakespeare Ugly Stick with a Okuma Avenger Bait Feeder Reel. On the reel, what is the difference in the Avenger ABF 65 and ABF 50? Also, I will take any other suggestions, but I don't want to spend more than like $80, because this will be recreational fishing.
Thanks to all who reply.
