Freshwater set up
Hello fellow BWE members,
Looking to get into freshwater more, grew up fishing the saltwater and Ive tried past few years on and off to try the freshwater side. Im thinking my gear and set up are all wrong and trying to get a better perspective from experienced anglers here in SD. What can you recommend for a rod and reel combo to fish the shore from SD Lakes. Gonna be fishing santee and lake Murray, maybe down in Otay as well. I have a small skiff and what would you recommend for rod/reel combo from a skiff or kayak? Baitcaster, spinner doesnt matter just wondering what you guys use and what I should start with as a beginner. Also line weight as well. I use 2 pound for trout and 10 for bass. Using braid for bass with fluoro leader and straight Mono for trout. Not much success tho. Thank you guys in advance.
