@Glaucus Alright, thanks a lot! I should mention my parents do gift me stuff at Christmas or my Birthday, but other than that Im pretty self sufficient in all my hobbies.

Hi! My name is Elijah and Im 14 years old. I have been fishing casually ever since I was around 8. Ive only been seriously bass fishing for around 2 years. I pay for all my gear and tackle and i do not get financial help from my parents. Im saving for a Kayak but currently fish from friends boats, shore or my dads Canoe. Im co angling my first local club tounaments with a friend of the family this summer and would appreciate any advice. My favorite fishing place is actually the AEP mining land about 15 minutes from my house. Its amazing once you go back in there with kayaks, camping overnight and never seeing another soul. I think the website says there's 350 ponds on the land. Anyway, hello from Appalachia Ohio!

Im 14 and Im starting to take my fishing to the next level. Im learning from YouTube channels like Glenn. I also have read bass resource religiously. Im switching my fishing arsenal over to baitcasters after about 2 years of using only spinning gear. Im a broke 14 year old and my parents are NOT helping me financially with any of my hobbies, so Im looking for a budget rod to build my arsenal around. Shimano SLX vs Shimano Exage? These will be for bottom contact lures or lures I throw a lot. To save money Im throwing my reaction baits on a Shimano Sellus, $50 dollar rod. Which has better sensitivity? Better overall quality? Not too worried about weight since Im not a all day tournament fisherman. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
