Hi. I am new to freshwater fishing. I have a 3-8' canal/pond behind my house where I just started fishing. There's a bunch of Blue Gill but I also caught Aligator Gars, Largemouth Bass and Bowfins, not sure what other species live down there yet. I've been YouTube fishing channels for the last few days and got some insight about bass fishing and purchased a few setups. Could you please help me with matching each setup to fishing styles (texas rig, wacky rig, crankbait, frog, jig, live worm bobber) and advise the type of line best to use with each?

 

Baitcaster:

 

- Abu Garcia Black Max 6'6 Medium/Mod-Fast Graphite 8-15lbs with Abu Garcia Black Max 6.4:1 

- KastKing Crixus 7'0 Med-Heavy/Fast 10-17lb Graphite with KastKing MegaJaws 7.2:1

- KastKing Crixus 7'0 Heavy/Fast 12-20lbs Graphite with KastKing Royale Legend GT 7.2:1

 

Spinning:

 

- Shimano Symetre SYS70M 7'0 8-12lb Medium/Fast Graphite with Shimano Symetre 2500HG 6.2:1

- Penn Battle II BTLII1017S70 7'0 Extra Fast 10-17lb Graphite with Penn Battle II 4000 6.2:1 

- Field&Stream Inferno FEHIS66MS2500 6'6 6-12lb Medium with Shimano Syncopate 2500FG 5.2:1

 

I skipped a few 5-6' and >8' rods. Not sure is these are any good for bass.

 

Thank you!

 

Should have asked for suggestions first.  Three rods would have covered it all.

 

 

Yeah, but how many are satisfied with only 3 rods?
