ROOKIE looking for Advice!!!
I have been fish since I was little (22 years old now) and about 5 years ago I got two Pflueger Trion Combos from basspro, first nice combos I had and was very happy with them. Last year I got my first baitcast, Shimano Citica with a BP Tourny Special Rod for bass fishing during their spring sale and well when spring got here I wasn’t bass fishing I was to busy catching crappie. So my 200$ baitcast combo sat in the garage until June (HA). Anyhow this spring I am looking to get two new spinning combos….
Dilemma 1 – I got a Pflueger Micro President for Christmas and don’t really know what rod size and action to go with. Was thinking about going with St. Croix Rods either the Triumph or Premier style? I have had a couple Pflueger Trion Ultra Light combos I got from bass pro and like the short rods, so was either going to get a 5’ or 5’6” ultra light one piece, with a mod action. Going to go with a 4lb test line. This set was going to be for dock shooting and panfishing.
Dilemma 2 – I am looking into getting another rod and reel and narrowed it down to either a Pflueger President 6730X or Shimano Sahara SH1000FD or SH2500FD. I wanted to pair this reel with a rod between 6’6” and 7’6” with a Medium or Medium Light, Fast action, one piece. Also going with the two St. Croix styles. Was going to put 8lb test line on reel. This set was going to be for crappie and largemouth fishing.
Any comments, advice, or just let me know what you guys all use would be great and much appreciated. Thanks!
