Ha! I didn't get a chance to check in here at all last week but what a co-winky-dink. I didn't end up at wal-mart, but I DID end up with a Scientific Angler's 8.5", 5/6 weight, 2-piece rod-reel-line-backing-leader combo. Unfortunately I got a nasty cold that lasted most of last week and haven't had a chance to actually fish with it yet. Hopefully going out this evening after work! Thanks for the advice, everyone!!Originally Posted by J Castwell
