If you're only gonna get one rod, it's better to have too much, than not enough. If you're using braid, you don't really need a pool cue, just a long rod and a MH action. For reels... highest speed you can. A long handle helps get the bass out. Any quality reel has a drag that can be locked down enough so your rod will break before your line.
Some use braid. I only use braid in muddy water, or heavy cover - anywhere it's truly necessary. I mostly use heavy fluorocarbon - around 20lbs. You may find you want to go lighter if you want to flip really sparse cover for finicky fish. Or heavier for thicker cover. Basically - everything stout. |
