Getting back in the game
Getting back into the sport after not fishing for about 5 years. Headed to BPS to renew my license and grab a basic setup, immediately caught a ~3lb’er at Loch Lomond in Santa Cruz. Hopefully I’ll be a bit more active here again!

Abu garcia Veritas?
I've had a Veritas (first gen, no holes in the bottom of the grip) for 2 years now, not a single complaint. 7-Med. Medium is more of a medium heavy. EXTREMELY sensitive. edit: I baby my stuff, bank fish, and have never talked with customer service. So if you have an issue, who knows how it'll go.

His workbench may be very unorganized, but I'll bet he slays at the lake with those Jigs.

Shimano Casitas Thoughts? Opinions?
Just get another curado on amazon, they're dirt cheap.

$200 Budget, 2 cheaper combos or 1 good combo?
For $200, the arguably best setup you can get is: Daiwa Tatula CT 6.3:1, $98 paired with a Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 7' Medium Fast (Model VRTCM70-5) for $68. (The rod is more of a medium-heavy). I have used both products listed here. prices listed here are found on the auction site. Hint: site name starts with an E. Total is $166 after shipping. and that is a VERY nice combo, and will last you a while. You might even have some cash left over for baits/line!

Shimano Caenan vs Daiwa fuego ct
Go with the Daiwa Fuego. The Caenan seems cheap feeling to me. Meanwhile the Fuego has an aluminum frame. (The Fuego is basically a Tatula CT without t-wing) As for a rod, an Abu Garcia Veritas is a nice rod. Can be found relatively cheap when on sale. If you can't get that, I'd check Craigslist for a used rod.

Help me identify this crankbait
As soon as I saw those eyes I instantly thought Bomber. Looks like an old Model A.
