Thank you guys for the help. I live in Ohio and the best store around me that I have is Gander Mountain. I will use all of these suggestions when I go up and check out different products. I also fish about 3-4 times a week, so I need something reliable.

Okay great, thank you for the help.

I mostly use soft plastics and crank baits, very rarely a frog. I think that setup with be good for what I need. Thank you. Any suggestion on brands?

Hello, I've been looing through this forum and haven't quite found the post I'm looking for. I've always used a spinning setup and really been looking into a casting setup. I have just recently started getting big into bass fishing, but have ALWAYS fished for other things. Never used a bait caster. I have watched several videos and seen several reviews. I could spend about $250 or so on rod/reel. Was wondering what would be best for all types of lures, from soft plastics to crank baits to frogs. Also line suggestions for the rod/reel would be extremely helpful. I mostly fish in local ponds and sometimes lakes on shore. I do not care for braided line, I have used that recently and have disliked it. Any help is much appreciated, thank you.
