What about the St. Croix Triumph 2-Piece Spinning Rods? Anybody know anything about those? It would be $100 with the $10 off the rod and $10 of the president reel and $20 off the order. The Abu Garcia Vendetta is also the same price.

I was looking there but they have $19 shipping so with it is the same as a place that sells it for $70 but free shipping. I will check out the Sahara.

Also, DSGs has $20 off a $100 order plus $10 off any rod or reel but i don't see any rods anybody has recommended in any of the threads ive seen there. Anyone see any that might fit in my budget?

I have seen them both recommended in a few posts i might do that. I was wondering when looking at them, what size should i get with whatever reel? Does the size of the reel matter? Because from what i see they are all the same except for the stock line it comes with, and i would get some braided line instead anyhow.

Currently looking at the Berkley Lightning Stick Rod and Pfleuger President. Any one else have any other ideas? I fish mostly from a bank in small ponds or on piers. My favorite lures are soft plastic worms or grubs.

I have been reading up on stuff and again thanks for your guys help so far. I was wondering what sites you guys recommend also for buying stuff. I would go to cabelas or a bass pro shop or even gander mountain but there are literally none around here. I have been looking at kmart, walmart, meijer(not a great selection really) dicks sporting goods, dunhams and ***. Are there any other good sites? I am looking at cabelas and bass pro shop online also just can't go to the stores.

Ok, definately gonna take some time to read some articles. As for lure weights, i honestly don't know. The stuff in the tackle box i have is older stuff that doesn't have a package or any markings that i can see. I never was really into fishing much before. It was more just a once in awhile thing and i know nothing about it really. But i want to learn all about it and find more out which is why i am here. Types of fish, where i am fishing are mostly bass, perch, sunfish and pike. I haven't caught a pike yet. I am kind of more interested in bass and perch so would prefer stuff for them. But should i buy stuff preparing for pike so my line doesn't break and things like that? Price range, really don't have one, i looked up the rods you said i can't see myself spending that much money on the GLoomis NRX yet. I did look around on the internet about rods and a lot of people had said the ugly stick. Wondering what your guys thoughts on those are. Also basically the idea for my post is that i am wondering what people would recommend to someone who has just gotten into fishing. I know there isn't a "Best" but i am asking peoples opinions and usually, not always, but usually the opinion that comes out the most is a good choice. As for baitcasting, would be interested to try it but not sure i wanna spend money on something i am never going to use again if i don't end up liking it. Is there any benefit to the different types of reels? Sorry i have lots of questions and they are scattered in the book i'm typing here, but thanks for everyones input and helping me.

I have just started fishing more this year, right now i have a old tackle box and old poles and want to get new stuff and buy it right. I fish mostly from a bank in small ponds or on piers. What types of lures should i get? My favorite lures are soft plastic worms or grubs. And would like to get nice worms and grubs but don't really know the difference in any of them. I also wouldn't mind getting into crankbaits or anything else, i just have always had luck with grubs and soft plastics.
