I have a cheapie Walmart Rod for gill. I am even confused on baits or lures. I was thinking of using trout magnet baits(name escapes me) and maybe some tadpole spins /beatle spins {1/16 & 1/8- too big ? ) & slip bobber live bait. I'm looking to spend $20 to maybe $80 each for a couple rods to start. I am confused on Quality & Length. Any rod knowledge you care to share with this Greenhorn would be Greatly Appreciated.
