Welcome aboard Alex. </p>
I guess it just depends on what you like to fish for. If I was gonna go for the bream and crappie, I would go with a med. 6 ft spinning rod and a small reel. If going for bass I still prefer spinning tackle but just a little heavier. I use a 6'6" spinnig rod and a shimano Spirex reel with 10# test line.</p>
Lots of info to find on here just hang on and the answers will come...</p>
I prefer flukes and spinner baits this time of year for bass.</p>
