[QUOTE="Andy Chase, post: 978239, member: 66505"] A medium action Rod would be a good starting rod if you want to just go with 1 rod. Ideally a light action rod would be used for panfish like sunfish and crappies, and trout (not lake trouth though). Medium action is good for bass, walleye occasional northern. Heavy action would be for larger Northern or Muskie fishing. Shimano is a good brand to go with if you're looking for a combo set-up (rod & reel), I like Abu Garcia or shimano reels. Cheaper rods that are decent are Berkely. Trilene XL 8lb test would be a good starting line if you're going to fish for various things, obviously larger test for bigger fish, and lighter test for smaller fish. I run 8lb on most of my medium action rods. Soft sided tackle boxes with Plano's in them are the better tackle boxes to go with. What kind of sporting good stores do you have by you? [/QUOTE]
