I grew up in Hawaii and saltwater fished my whole life but freshwater fishing seems a lot more challenging especially since I'm just getting into it. Looking for an all purpose type set up for bass, crappie, cat, anything that will bite really and need advice on a rod and reel well spinner combo. Was looking at this one in 6'6" medium heavy with the high line capacity. http://www.basspro.com/Shimano-Sedona-FD-Reel/Bass-Pro-Shops-Tourney-Special-Spinning-Combos/product/1209290947359/#desc-tab I am open to suggestions would like to keep the price range below 160 if at all possible but versatility is key as I am in the military and have opportunities to fish in different environments. Any help would be appreciated.
