I fish in Massachusetts, where the fishing is no where near as good as the rest of the country, but I still love the sport and going out, i'm not a full on angler with a boat or none of that, although I may get into it, I only have 2 rod and reel combos, 1st is a casting on a 7ft 1in medium heavy fast action rod but its broken at the tip so its a 7ft rod, my 2nd is a spinning rod on a finesse rod but that's it should invest in other rods? I will say i dont find myself having problems catching fish on any lures, but maybe I will feel a difference once getting them?
