I am a Noobie! Well at least to all this new fangled rod and reel stuff! I used to catch so many fish on the basic Zebco! Lol I've got several rod and reel combos that I don't know how best to use... Or what kind of lures should I be throwing with them! I also have some "Culls" or extras that I need advice on whether they are worth keeping... Or should I toss them! I'll post pictures of each set up and I'll wait to hear on the opinions/advice! Thanks David   Here's what I'm starting with!

Med mod action-for treble hook baits.med fast -light worms and treble hook baits.med heavy-worms,jigs,spinnerbaits,buzz baits. Hev action- frogs,flipping,c-rigs, swimbaits etc. the line for cranks,spooks, popr s and spinnerbaits I use is "12 -15 lb big game". Some people use flouro but I only Use flouro for t rigs and jigs. "15-20lb invizx ".I use braid for flipping,frogs, and my buzzbaits "65lb power pro". it's all preference so use what you like. That's just how I set up my rods.oh and my spinning rod I like to use a 15-30lb braid leader with a 8-10lb flouro carbon leader.

I dozed off before I put up the rest of the pictures! I'm interested to know as well if the rods I have are worth keeping?

Here's another Walmart special... Or academy or cabelas or bps?   This has "finesse" on the reel... But the rod only has a code on it? I'm guessing the number 661 is the 6'6" camh goes for casting medium heavy!
