I'd havta go look in the truck. I know I gotta zebco 404 an some cheapo rod from wally world special. Then I gotta couple closed face reel/rod combo from wally world. Then I gotta couple 7 footer rods I got atta local sporting place (worth the money) and stuck a shakespear levelwind on one and a tidewater LW on the other. Then I gotta zebco 33 onna small pole for light duty. My truck is my tackle box. hehe

I just never did get the hang of using a baitcaster,seems too much like work.I can use one in the daylight if I pay close attention and watch what I'm doin'.I have a few zebco spincast around here,a couple 808s a 888 I should have a bucket full of 33s somewhere.

THE MOST IMPORTANT part of a setup is that almost non-adjustable NUT on the tail-end of every fishin rod!
