9024, Specific rod/reel recommendation?
Posted by salmonoid 1, Mon Mar-31-03 04:32 PM
Not another question about a rod/reel recommendation! 'fraid so.

Having nearly finished my seven day per week self-employment for months I am ready to get a rod bent.

Please recommend a rod and reel for the following purpose(s): tossing 1/4 to 1/2 ounce (max) swimbaits and lures of similar weight for smallmouth and non-trophy size largemouth, and possibly for perch (the larger ones) in the salt. I thought that an outfit for 10 pound test (because of possibly fishing in snaggy areas and possibly tangling with a larger than expected fish) and rated lure weight of up to 1/2 ounce would be about right, but I am new to this kind of downsized fishing and need advice.

Thanks.
Bob
