Bought my first baitcaster setup and so hyped to get out on the water!

Tackle/Equipment

Guys, I finally did it! I went into my Field and Stream and made my first real jump in becoming more serious about bass fishing, I decided to keep it cheap so I went with Okuma Status V and a Berkley Lightning Rod 7'. For line I went with some Seaguar Red Label Fluro. I can't wait to get out on the water and play around with this setup. Just thought I'd share my excitement with you guys!

Good luck! Keep that thumb on the reel or you'll be fighting off tangles (bird's nests) all day

Nice! Just be careful with red label. It's a solid leader fluoro, but not the best as a main line. If you backlash a lot, don't let it turn you off of casting reels.

You know Gary Yamamoto himself uses spinning reels only, yeh?

And 99% of professional anglers use both, what's your point?
