have yall had much experience with an okuma avenger "a" series? those seem to have pretty good reviews?

so if i go with the smaller size will i have to get different size line? i have powerpro 14lbs braid, will that still be compatible with the smaller one?

They both are pretty similar to one another, and I found them both for only like a $1 difference, looking to get into using spinning reels lol I dont have experience with either one so I figured some of yall might have some input to your choice/preference and maybe even if youve had experience with them, and some recommendations? Thanks! -Mike

i live in northeast florida right on the border of georgia basically and there are alot of bait fish out there you can see em all over i was simply saying i havent even been able to catch one with the bread or worm haha just meaning the bream arent even biting lol vegetaion on the side is very minimal at the most on the top it grows out to only about a foot and beneath the water there really isnt much grass, ive fished the north south east and west sides of the bank at different times of day, at one point the bass were near the shore line on their beds gaurding that was about 2 weeks ago and this week the beds were empty so i did start throwing deeper still no bites haha and the only thing i can think that would be feedin it is there a a big culvert (however you spell it) at the front of the pond under the water, its direction is coming from a river that runs right through the woods on the other side of it, that may feed it i dont know though lol

thanks man i had thought about that but to be honest 90% of the time im the only one fishing there now a days most people ive ever seen there at one time lately is like 8 people but its a LARGE pond, and ive been there at different times for sure early late middle of the day and ive been fishing it for the past couple of weeks 3 maybe 4 times a week lol i do feel like its be "over fished" in my terms of course cus its been there for so long and its catch and release only according to the sign so that probably going to be it, thank you for the reply! im waiting for a good day to hit up some of the creeks and rivers around here!

Ok so I am new too bass fishing, I have fished all of my life but basically just throwing a line with bait and bobber on it and waiting haha Ive really gotten into bass fishing, new rod and reel, new lures and tackle, I love it! MY PROBLEM is, there is a pond made FOR fishing less than a mile from my home its been there for atleast 8-9 years, and i KNOW (because ive seen them) there are some nice 2-3 lbs bass in there, also bream and a HUGE carp. But I havent so much as even caught a stinking bream out of this pond! ive used it all bread, live worms, soft plastics, topwater, crankbaits, spinner baits/spinner jigs, and not jus like 3 casts then im done, ive been there for hours and no even had a bite, Honestly I think ive had one legitimate bite but i missed it lol So anyone have any advice for this situation? And idk if this helps, but in comparison, i went and fished my bro-n-laws pond much much smaller pond, i used the same baits and i caught two bass one with topwater and one with my spinning jig, so this also makes the problem with the other pond even more perplexing haha sorry for rambling
