I am getting back into fishing after a long hibernation from the sport. A couple of months ago I purchased a kayak to fish the rivers of central Texas and an occasional trip to fish the saltwater costal bays around Padre Island. My current set up on rods and reels is as follows: St. Croix 6'6 M Power and F Action Avid Spinning Rod with a Shimano Stradic 3000 FJ St Croix 7"1 MH Power and F Action Mojo Casting Rod with a Shimano Curado 200HGK (7:4:1-31' retrieve per crank) I am wanting to add another casting rod and reel. I would like another Mojo Rod and Curado K or DC reel. I would like help deciding on what length, power and action of a rod would be best for river fishing for bass to round out my other rods and cover most of the river fishing bait bases. I am also needing advice for the reel and whether I should get a 6:2:1, 8:5:1, or another 7:4:1 gear ratio. Back in the old days it was just not this complicated. Thanks for the assistance.
