That Shimano anon mentioned isn’t bad. Abu Cardinals, Pflueger Triton, and if Dick’s still has those white Okumas for $30, those are decent too. 6’ M Lightning Rod with that white Okuma Stratus V and 10lb Power Pro is one of my favorite combos for just dicking around because it will run 1/8oz to 1/2oz lures all day and I can have fun with panfish up to bigger bass and sneks on it.
>>1518157Fishing pressured spots sucks. Try to find some little unknown lakes and ponds in industrial areas or subdivisions. And as summer comes and the water gets warm, you may want to get on more of finesse baits. I never really fish rivers with moving water, but a great summer bet is a Zoom Finesse Worm Texas Rigged with a 2/0EWG hook and like 1/8 to 1/4oz bullet weight. The warmer the temps and higher the pressure, the slower you go with it. Just hop it along the bottom, let it sit for a second or two, hop again, and wait for a bass to grab it. Be patient setting the hook though because they will grab the tail first and if you try and set the hook as soon as you feel the bite, you yank it from their mouth.
