Chain Pickerel near Richmond, Virginia
Lake Chesdin has them. I catch them all the time, not that I want to. I’ve also caught them at Picture lake in Dinwiddie county. They have a campground there and I’m pretty sure they rent boats.

What Tube Rod
You can find a new Tatula rod for around 100 on eBay. I have both and the Tatula is much better than the E6x I have.

Fast or X-Fast action jig rod?
I feel your frustration. I’ve been wanting to look at some upper end rods because I want something better than what I have for Texas rigged worms but no one in this area stocks decent rods. Not even BPS or Cabela’s.

BPS stores
I’ll order bigger purchases from BPS sometimes only because of the 6 pay plan they have. Everything else I order elsewhere or buy local. My closest BPS is 20 minutes from my job and they don’t even stock my favorite fishing line.

How long to become a good angler?
My answer depends on how I did on the water that particular day. Some days I think I’m Bill Dance, other days not so much. ?

Mercury 2.5 question
Yes I have a trolling motor on front of the boat. I fish a 3100 acre lake though, I was thinking I could cover a lot more water and get from point A to B faster with the outboard.
