Fishing rod and reel suggestions

[Ketchn]

just be really careful when you lip them pickerel ......
if i were you and targeting mostly sunfish , i would likely have several inexpensive rods for different modes .
Shakespeare carries a huge number of different combos that are inexpensive and work real well .
if ya break one who cares ,no big deal

I live relatively close to the NYC water reservoirs, which have trout and crappie, so I'm probably going to fish there as well. One of the main reasons I've been targeting sunfish is that most places have ok fishing from the bank, without having to cast super far.

for the price of one of the combos mentioned you could carry 3 different Shakespeare versions and have about every bank scenario covered
of course to each his own .but there aint nothing worse than to get somewhere and have ONLY one rod with you that dont fit the program

I'll look into that, but I think that I'd rather just have 1 rod that works in most scenarios, than have to carry 3 rods when walking along the bank.

The TCB would make a great bank rod. I only bought the rod & put a pflueger on it. Careful not to snake that rod on a tree branch. It is an UL. If you can get away with it spool it with 4# test

The TCB will be fine. I bank fish a lot and much prefer one rod and a pocketful of baits.

Yep, that was my thinking.

I'm probably going to use 6#, at least for now, as there are some plants and stuff I snag quite often, and that's what I have on hand. I'll upgrade it if needed, though.n

If you like spin cast reels
I recommend the Daiwa Gold cast
I’ve had one for about 5 years.
Fool proof, tough, Caught lots of fish, gills , bass , crappie, catfish.
Then find a rod you like . I use a 5ft ugly stick with this ^ reel

Thanks. I just ordered the TCB rod and reel combo, but if I ever upgrade my reel, I'll keep your suggestion in mind.
