5" Black with red metal flake Senko rigged wacky rigged. 21" long.

After a great amount of research, hopefully, yesterday I pulled the trigger on a *** *** Black 6' 10" M/F baitcasting rod. I also purchased a Quantum Smoke SL 100SPTA baitcasting reel with a 6.1:1 gear ratio to pair with my new ***. For Years, all my bass fishing has been done with a 6' rod with my trustworthy Ambassadeur red 5000 reel sitting on top and consisted of tossing spinner baits. Last Spring I was introduced to wacky worm fishing, and I was immediately hooked. I plan to use my new outfit for worm fishing only and continue to use my older rig for spinner baits. I welcome all your thoughts and comments. Thanks in advance.

Catch and Grease: Thanks for the quick response. I will give them a call on Monday. FYI, been perusing the forums...a wealth of inormation. Looking forward to an in deapth look. Thanks again.

To The Group: I am new to this forum as of 15 minutes ago and this topic is exactly why I joined. Dave had been keeping my round Ambassadeur reels in fish cathing condition for about 5 years now and I just learned of his passing today. I phoned his shop to let him know I would be sending in my reels for their annual cleaning. Mrs. Green answered and told me about his passing. She was the one who led me to this site as her husband mentioned it numerous times. She asked me to get on here in hopes of finding a good reel man to take David's place. I live in Kansas and welcome any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
