Just got my first casting rod today.

Will be a good addition to my 2 spinning reel set ups

Berkley® AMP Series Casting Rod

its the 6' MH model

Now to find a reel that will fit it well

Throw an Abu 5500C3 on that bad boy with some Trilene XL 14lb mono and watch both the rod and reel last you twenty years!

avoid mono for a baitcaster,keep that on your spinning setup,id go with 15lb fluorocarbon(100% trilene) or a 30lb braid(power pro),that way you got your spinning set up for certain styles and you can use your baitcaster for putting your baits in slop/pads where the big boys hide,or for throwing swimbaits/heavy baits,but with a mh rod id avoid mono imo.as for a reel id check out abu garcia revo s or sx,shimano citica 200e,pflueger asaro/summit or team daiwa tierra baitcasters,all great reels

I ended up going with the abu garcia revo s for this rod, heading out to try it tonight.  

You'll love that reel. It is also a fairly easy reel to learn on. Keep us posted on how it goes.

great choice...enjoy it

Well not to much tonight, learned the real without to many issues, though I would not recommend anyone trying to learn at night as it was difficult to see, I'll be going back during the day to try it practice more.  Was a slow night, lost 1 fish, landed an 18.25" walleye and 2 white bass.  

(Walleye seemed to be no fight at all, guessing its because I have a 12# line on and the rod is MH while Im used to a 8# and 10# line on my M rods)
