Fishing Equipment Question

[tortilla_man]

I am looking to get a new rod and reel... Im looking for something that I can use for both bass fishing and for bay fishing for trout and red... I wonder if maybe yall had some recommendations.

IMO, the best combination rod/reel you can buy is a Falcon rod and an Abu Garcia reel. Academy Sports carries them both. They can be used for bass fishing (and whatever useless fish you want to catch).

If you're gonna to be doing any bass fishing using the Texas Rig technique (plastic worms), make sure you get a stiff rod.

Always take 2 Baptists fishing with you.

NEVER just take 1.

The best is the one that you feel most comfortable with. You will get several responses from several people. If you're just getting into it, don't drop a ton of money on it. Find a good sale and spend about 100 bucks on a combo rod and reel and go have fun.

I'm prepping for my trip to your neck of the woods. And my buddy does have a hand held GPS.

As far as spin tackle and equipment, I have Abu Garcia and some years ago bought a Zebco Pro Staff combo. I really prefer the Zebco. It is graphite, extremely light and casts like a dream. I don't fish freshwater, so can't comment on bass, but I have torn up a ton of saltwater trout, redfish, and flounder with it (fishing artificial lures, BTW). Use 8 or 10 lb. test line for best casts.
