I am debating whether to use my light action 5′6 storm fishing reel/rod. Or my R2F Southbend fishing combo which is medium action 6′6. Both have 5.2:1 reels.

Jimbo asked:


I recently started using a spinning reel fishing rod. How do I use it? The guy at the store explained it kinda vaguely since he didn’t know exactly how to. I flip over the spinning part and grab hold of the line with my finger. When I cast I let go of the line. But when I cast it, it goes forward, and then comes back or stops letting out line. I haven’t been able to cast it more than 15 feet.
Another thing is I repeatedly get bird nests the line on the reel always gets tangled. What am I doing wrong?

I’ll be fishing mostly rivers and have never fished salmon before. I’m looking for decent equipment that won’t break the bank but I’m not looking for the cheapest thing either.

My fishing pole reeled in smoothly when I first got it. I am a beginning fisher lady. I had some line get tangled up, and the pole had to be restrung. Now it no longer reels in smoothly. Is there something specific I should look for?

I live in Kentucky and can catch bass anywhere from 2lbs-10lbs. I like to fish with buzz, spinner baits and plastic worms. I want a nice spinning reel that can hold a significant amount of line with 10lb test. I am not wanting to pay a boatload of money. Shoot me some suggestions! Thanks!
