I purchased a Cahill Rod from Cabela's, 4 piece, 8'6'' 5 wt, Medium Action Graphite Rod, Offset gear to gear disc drag, came with Weighted forward floating line [ yellow], Tapered Leader, 20lb Backing, Pre-spooled on the reel/ready to fish.
This is basically an experiment for me to enjoy as per bait and spin cast fishing if I'm able to adapt to fly fishing casting will only be 30-40' bank fishing areas I will visit Norfork and Red River, for trout, evenings and pre dawn I will be bait casting a floating Rapala as per I observed a guy doing on the White River, Bull Shoals State Park, catching Walleye and Brown Trout, then during the day revert to a Golden Cleo spin casting, Buffalo River and Crooked Creek just west of Mountain Home for Smallies, been retired since 95, relocated to NE Arkansas from Lake County, Illinois just on three years ago, took me forty years to "Pry The Rock Loose", I have a 34' Class A Motor home, next winter will be spending two months South Padre Island, salt water fishing was what I was raised on, one hour before/one hour after high tide.
