Thanks everyone ! Hoping I can contribute as much info as I have gained from reading through this forum and others that I'm on.

Scratch both those. I've fished tons of different rod brands cheap and expensive. I recent bought a daiwa bass series tatula rod. 7'3" med heavy fast action. Sticking a curado k on it. It's the lightest rod I own hands down and also the most well balanced. At least check them out http://www.daiwa.com/us/contents/rods/tatulabass/index.html

North east Ohio here. A Midwest section would be sweet. And hopefully not as many cry babies as a couple other forums I visit

No pics on phone of it but a 39" northern on 4# test and an ultralight walleye fishing. Spooled me multiple times. Had to chase it with boat

Checking in from n.e Ohio. Fish for all species from Creek chubs to flatheads. Main focus is bass largemouth and smallies. Try to fish Canada for smallies every summer . No longer fish clubs but do fish opens throughout the year. My son is getting into it pretty good now as well. Best part about my boat is it's paid for! 16 foot tracker nothing fancy but theirs been more fish than I can count in it and it's been towed thousands of miles even out of the country twice. !! Favorite technique is flipping and pitching. Also love saugeye and crappie fishing. Always looking for new people to fish with. I didn't put up a pic of any of my big fish but did put a pic of my favorite one.
