What's up y'all, I'm in the market for my first baitcaster setup after being a long time spinner guy. Since I don't have the largest budget, I'm looking for a rod/reel combo that I can use for a small variety of fishing. I'm really looking for a Jiggin/Flipping and basic Topwater setup (Frogs mainly).
Right now I'm looking for a 7'-7'6 MH-H rod and a 6.3.1-7.3.1 reel (BPS Pro Qualifier & Daiwa Tatula) specifically. As for the rods I have no clue, I'm looking for something that's quality but won't break the bank. I'll probably top this off with 40-65# braid since the areas I fish get thick hydrilla mats come August.
How does this sound? I've been reading around a good bit, but there is a lot of information to take in.
