Thanks FBD im probably gunna use it for striperbass and maybe a lil catfish... Do u know also what type of rod to get, i was thinking abouth a shakespear ugly stick...any ideas?
And RC Fish baitcasters are for biggerfish and line,but are harder to use and spinning are simpler but for smaller fish.

hey FishyBoy7,
you should use a bait caster, but it all depens on what you want to catch.
If you wanna catch smallies or largies, pike etc, go with a bait caster.
I like Abu Garcia and shimano. Those are my favorites.
