Thanks... I think I'm going to start browsing around for a baitcaster set-up... Are there any models that I should stay clear of?

Thanks for the replies gents... I do most of my fishing on Rice Lake as my brother in law has a cottage up there with a Pontoon Boat and I have a spinning reel set up going right now... Its a shallow, weedy lake and i mainly fish close to the shore line. I often wonder when I'm out fishing that I would be better off using a bait caster instead of what I have now to make life easier for myself.

Hi All, When your out fishing largies, what rod/reel do you find that you use more? a bait caster set up or a spinning reel setup?

Thanks for the reply... I have never used a baitcast reel before... are there any good brand names I should shop for? any suggestions for a rod and lures as well? Thanks Again

Hey guys, My sister was recently the lucky recipient of a cottage and up at their lake there is Perch, Pickerel, Muskie, Crappie and Bass.... Does anyone have any suggestions to what gear and tackle I should get... all I have now is a Ultra Light rod with 6lb test line.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks,
