uhm... Que?

I agree with your list btw RW.  What about a Rod and Reel combo. LOL  Zebco?

a 6'8" MXF Mojo Bass Spinning Rod, a Shimano Sahara 2500, and 6 lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid

Rod & reel would be another thread in a different

section. The general answer is a combo, on sale,

from one of the major retailers. I think most "in-house"

rods matched with a Symetre spinning reel or Citica

baitcasting reel is fine. That should be around $150.

Sound advise.

I love reading stuff like this when you post it RW, Favorited this and your "guranteed to catch bass" thread. That's what got me my first one.
