spotted bass

Thanks

No it is not touching anywhere. A couple of my guides look bent slightly down, but they might be supposed to be that way because that is the way it came in. Thanks

The line is mono.

I just got Abu Garcia Revo SX and 7' micro magic Duckett rod combo. When I reel the line in it makes a noise on the rod like the line is rubbing against the graphite. I am using 12 lbs. line and they are threaded through every eye. Is this normal or is something wrong?

O.K, I will go with medium.

I am thinking about purchasing the Pfluger Supreme XT reel to pair with my St. Croix Premier Spinning 7' rod I am thinking about purchasing. the reel is fresh/saltwater. If I paid the same amount for a strictly freshwater reel would it be a more quality reel? Am I paying for the ability to fish saltwater?

I am going to get the St. Croix Premier Spinning rod, 7', fast action rod and was debating on getting a medium or medium heavy power. What weight bait is most common? I usually fish the texas rig in less than 25 feet of water, but I use all other baits too. What power should I get? I have been using a browning medium light power rod (about $40), but I can't tell the difference between hitting the bottom and getting a bite. I also can never set the hook. What power should I get?

Is the Pfluger Supreme highly priced because it is a good reel or because you can use it in saltwater. If you were to buy a strictly freshwater reel for the same price would it be a better reel?

I would most likely be using 8-10 pound test 90% of the time. Maybe 12 pound during tournaments.

I like that Pflueger Supreme XT. Would a size 40 be to big? The size 40 will hold 8, 10, and 12 pound test and the St croix Premeir rod is made for line from 8-14 pound line. What gear ratio should I get? Here is the link to their website http://www.pfluegerfishing.com/Pflueger®-Supreme-XT-Spinning-Reel/1280300,default,pd.html#start=5.

Up to 150 for the reel.

What brand is that? I might could spend up to 150. I think I need lots of ball bearings.

How many IPT is slow, fast, or medium? The Abu Garcia STX has a 4:8:1 that is 30" per turn, a 5:1:1 that is 29" per turn, a 5:1:1 that is 27" per turn, and a 5:1:1 that is 24" per turn. Does anyone own this real? It has a good review here http://www.bestcovery.com/best-spinning-fishing-reel. How can I tell if it will fit the St. Croix premier rod well? Thanks!!

I really like the Abu Garcia Soron STX reel, but the gear ratio is 5:1:1. Is that to slow? I fish most all lures. Do I need a 6:4:1? Thanks

My object species is black bass.
