Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Hunter, I'm from North Louisiana. Began fishing hard last year (have fished casually all my life) and have had a lot of success since. Used to put all my effort into deer hunting, as we have a pretty decent area....but fishing has kind of taken over. Just started off with some moderate Abu combos, but now looking to expand my arsenal and become more fluent in the bass world. This site is pretty remarkable with the information everyone is putting out there, it's really a great place to learn some new things. I've read posts and articles for hours, really looking forward to expanding the bass techniques, as I'm pretty much an avid user of jerkbaits and wacky worms since they tend to work best around here! Wanting to learn as much as I can, will be buying a new boat within the year to start tournament fishing. Geaux Tigers!

All the advice has really helped me. I'm getting a good idea on what I'm leaning towards. I believe I will go with Dobyns, either a champion or savvy. The champion extreme is a out of my price range for now, and the champion is pushing it. I've decided I am going to pretty much just get a whole new arsenal. So a cranking rod, a good flipping/pitching rod for jigs up to 1 oz, a rod for senkos, and one for jerkbaits/topwaters. So any more advice pertaining to dobyns and these four rods would be appreciated! As for the reels, think I've narrowed it down to sticking with Garcia, or moving over to a 13 reel. Although, I am really interested in learning more about Lew's. I've seen a lot of people on here like them. I've never fished one so I wouldn't know, but I'm willing to take a shot at them if anyone can give me some input.

I'm looking for two new combos to throw together, and need some advice on what I should go after. I've only fished with garcia reels and rods but I want to switch it up. I'm looking for a flipping/pitching combo and a combo for mostly t rigs/wacky/jerkbaits. Rods - Falcon, Dobyns, 13, St. Croix, and Duckett. Reels - Garcia, 13, and Quantum. Any advice/opinions would be great.
