Hello, I live in New England and the lakes around me are almost all melted so I'll be able to fish finally. I just bought some Berkley NanoFil line 8lb test because a friend recommended it. I just curious to see what everyone else has to say about it?

How does this rod (6'6" Medium Fast action) look? http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Tourney-Special-Spinning-Rods/product/12041105005515/ or this one with the same configuration http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-XPS-Extreme-Spinning-Rods/product/11092205011617/

That was very helpful, thank you It's not a big investment. I have my own job and bought a $1500 custom gaming PC But I was going to buy a medium fast action rod

I don't use spinners on Texas rigs, only worms. When I use spinners I use them as is. What is the advantage of the Slider Heads?

If I got a new rod I wouldn't use the ugly stick because I don't have another reel to put on it, and I don't want to buy another. I just want one rod/reel combo

I don't see this FAQ of which you speak

Are there any brands that are superior to others?

good to know

On tackle warehouse the Carrot Stix Wild Spinning Rod is on sale from $100 to $70. Is this a good rod because I would want to jump on it before it's not on sale anymore. Also what about the Shimano Convergence Spinning Rod 6'8" Medium (Fast Action)

That's perfect thank you

$100 is my max, but preferably under $80

I thought powerbaits were bad because they dry up

Once again, very informative, thank you

Those baits seem decent, and I haven't really tried that retrieve tactic. The gave me a good amount of insight. Thanks

Very helpful, thank you. But what is a rage rig?

I am a new fisherman (16 yrs old) and am looking to buy a new spinning rod. Right now I have some Ugly Stick from Walmart, which is decent and a reel that I can't remember the make or model of but is brand new and works great. I want to get a rod where I can actually feel the brush and cover and rocks on the bottom, which my rod does not do well. I would like to know a little bit about action, speed, etc. Thanks in advance to any input

Hello, I am a beginner bass fisherman (16 yrs. old) and know very little. I have some experience so far with crank baits and spinner baits. I've been using some soft plastics (all worms) but haven't had any luck. I would like to know how to better perfect my strategy for using plastic worms. I generally use a Texas rig with a 3/16 oz bullet weight (that could be the wrong weight, I can't quite remember) on a spinning reel with 8lb fluorocarbon. When I cast out I let it sink to the bottom first and wait a few seconds. then I will jerk it up, reel in slight to regain tension, then let it sink again and repeating. I've heard this is a decent tactic, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Any information about better rigs or retrieving tactics would be much appreciated My second question is about creature baits. I know absolutely nothing about this and I would like as much info as possible about these. I was looking on tackle warehouse at the new Rage Bugs and look really cool. The problem is I wouldn't know how to rig them and how to use them in the water to attract the bass. Thank you in advance to any information you can provide me about the world of soft plastics
