New Rod and Reel

also, my choice for casting and also not expensive rod, Bass Pro, micro lite rod , 8' med. lite. You can cast that 1/16oz jig a long way with 4 lb. test. I do all my crappie fishing from the shore and over the years have found this to be perfect, ( for me anyway . )

I suspect that even cheap rods today can be superior to the relatively expensive rods we inherited as kids 50 years ago. That said there was something comfortable about fiberglass I can't put my finger on.

i know, there was a time many years ago i was very comfortable with fibergalss, we didnt have anything else, in fact i did some fishing with a steel rod. now when i pick up a glass rod it just doesnt feel right.
