A Newb Guide.
So, your a newb and you've just started fishing. You have what they call a basic rod and 5 F baits. With a basic you can catch small, mediums and on the rare occasion larges. Junk are most common in bassken - it is the more littered lake.
The Small fish - Guppys. What color? Red, Orange and Yellow.
The Medium fish - Bass. What color? Blue, Brown and Green.
The Large Fish - Stripers. What Color? Grey, Green and Blue.
The RARE Fish - Big Mouth Bassterd. Mutha Guppa. Candy Striper.
The Stripers and rare's are worth quite alot on the market.
So, you've passed the newb times and your sort of getting friends and doing this and that. Then, you see a striper on the market. You go fishing and catch junk and guppy. You think, why didn't I get a striper? Simple. Your cast length wasn't long enough.
The best and most expensive rod (Under my standards) is the distance rod. The unupgraded version cost 3500 and goes on 90 feet. It is the best rod for catching larges and rares. The bait you should use is F to D and occasionlly A.
