cheap fishing rod and reel combo Wild Spinning 7' / Light / 2 dark tip and a 600STS Spinning Reel with a 22 Shield II + Seatech Elite

I like the Trika 8:1 reel, as it has a very low profile, so it fits in the palm of my hand, and lets me fish a topwater plug all day, and since it only weighs 5.5 ounces my wrist and hands wont get fatigued

Amazed you will be (as Yoda might say) at just how little force is transferred to your hand

I like the choice of fish finder color palettes to match the conditions, brighter colors on a bright day and darker colors are easier to see under overcast skies or at night

A: To go soft or hard when it comes to how you carry your tackle depends on how you fish and where you fish from

I like the BG MQ 3000 with 20 lb braid for going up to a higher power setup that can cast well while having more power to handle bigger fish

Winter : Bass are less active in the colder months, so slower, finesse presentations are key
