KelDawg1 and all -

I've been a life long trout fisherman and use ultra lite geer. I've used Daiwa and the old Mitchell Garcia stuff in spinning reels up to this point.

I'd like to get into some bass fishing, but want to make sure I have the proper gear.

I appreciate all the feedback I've received so far, and hope to hear some more. I'm disappointed to hear this EON is a lemon - because it "sounds" so promising.

I've been contemplating this for some time (making the plunge into bass fishing). I know I have a lot to learn and have been reading the posts in here frequently.

Thanks again.

By the way - what is a "back lash?"
