Hello everyone, my name is jeremy and i just wanted to introduce myself. Im 25 and a just recently got into fishing. Well i purchased a little jon boat and some cheap rod and reels. i started off with the good ol zebco 33. Well since then i have upgraded to some pfleuger president spincast reel. Yes some ppl may laugh but i find spincast much less frusterating to use and its what im confident and comfortable with. and i have it paired up with a medium gander mt vortex rod. Now i really like my pfleuger spincast reel its got a really smooth retrieve and a decent drag system. I use 6lb mr crappie hi vis line. My question is what rod would you recomend to pair up with my reel. i have been looking at st croix rods but there just a little out of my price range. i was thinking of going with a light power fast action one piece rod for my setup. i really dont like the big long rods. i would like my rod to be 6 foot. thats the length im most comfortable with. My next question would be about fish finders. i have been doing some research on them as well. right now i have a cheap hummingbird pirhana max 150 and i think its really holding me back. So any advice or suggestions on a fish finder under 200 would be appreciated. i dont need a model with gps. One last question, what are some of your most productive lures/jigs in the winter. and what technique do you use or how do you fish them. i live in indiana and i fish eagle creek almost every weekend. and right now its cold out. Its supposed to be 38 degrees tomorrow and im braving the cold and goin out. Those crappie have me hooked. but anyways any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
