Man, that's a beauty! 8-)

+1 Excellent response, that just about covers it all. 8-)

Well, I received a STX as a gift, but otherwise, I only fish Shimano. :

BTW, It's September 3 and still summer! Most of the northern hemisphere will have another season before getting to winter. :

I like a stout glass rod for deep cranking, but otherwise, graphite is just fine. My "all-around" treble hook rod is a St. Croix Avid AC66MF with a soft tip. I recommend taking a look at the the AS66MF for a spinning rod equivalent. 8-)

Great post, you're a lucky man! 8-)

Nice fish, great pic! 8-)

Too cool, great pic! 8-)

Regardless of the brand, a 6 1/2' - 7' Medium Power/ Fast Action will serve you well. This might help: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1196114229 8-)

I'm sure you will like the Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft. For spinning tackle, I recommend #6 (.010" diameter, 11.9 lb test). 8-)
