I am thinking that my little trout rods wont do the job. I read that a 7’ medium rod with a size 2500 reel loaded with 10’ braid should do the trick. Does that sound about right? Any recommendations on a rod and reel? I found a small tackle shop in a neighboring town and will travel there first to see what they have. They are on a lake known for its perch so i dont know how much bass gear they will have. Amazon has rods and reels also. Is a glass spinning rod ok?
I've caught lotw of bass on my trout rods. You just need to play them like a trout. Most bass guys want to jerk them in the boat immediately and use stiffer rods and up to 20 pound braid. You can ge a good ugly stick combo from Amazon for $69-$79. That for a 6 1/2 or 7 foot medium. It's hard to beat an ugly stick.
