Rod/reel/lline Setups For Multiple Techniques
Just one caveat on "heavy" rods. Not all are created equal, one company's mh might be the equivalent of another company's heavy. Also some heavy rods are absolute broom sticks. The heaviest rods I own are a st croix mh, and abu garcia mh, both are known for having a little more power than other rods. I use both of them for frogs and can't think of many times when I feel like I need more.

Suggested Rods For A Beginner
I would get a cheap spinning combo for 50-60$, then spend the rest on a mh casting, a bass pro PQ and a st croix triumph should run you around 180

1 Lure You Have No Confidence In...
cranks, lipless cranks, squarebills, jerkbaits, pretty much any lure with trebles thats fished below the surface. Most of the places that I fish are so over run with weeds that they always get hung up, and if i do find a place thats relatively clear I dont know how to fish them effectively

Abu Garcia Teracity Casting Rod
If you like the veritas rods you'll like the veracity. I have one matched with a revo rocket and it's the lightest best balanced combo I own, it honestly feels like I'm holding a feather. That being said it is the shortest rod I own at 6'6", most of my other rods are 6'8 or 7'. I only fished with is for about a month or so before all the water froze so I feel like I would be doing a disservice to anyone giving a full review. But like I said earlier if you are familiar with the veritas rods and like them then you will enjoy the veracity.

Favorite Rod Brand?
My favorite spinning is st croix, casting I don't really have one I don't feel like I've used enough out there yet. I picked up a kistler over the winter can't wait to use it, I also want to give dobyns and loomis a shot this year too.

How Young Is To Young For....
I didn't get one until high school, I was maybe 15-16. I think that once your child gets to the age when they start going out with friends it would be nice to have a cell phone. At least when they have a cell phone you know you can always reach them, and they can reach you if they need to.

Abu Rods, Getting A Little Redundant
I have a vendetta, veritas, veracity, and villain. They're all different powers and lengths so it's not really apples to apples. The villain IMO are not worth the money. The veracity is my favorite, it's the lightest and best balanced, then again the one I have is 6'6". I've gotten them all at discount prices. I think the veritas is a good rod for 100$. I've only used the veracity for topwater and moving baits so I can't really speak for it's sensitivity but I would buy another one.
