Very Nice.
You are in the ballgame now. Go easy with your first few casts of those big baits. You can get a professional overrun that will bring tears to your eyes in a hurry. I would recommend going to youtube and watch videos of guys fishing big swim baits or irons in the ocean to get the pendelum action down for those big baits before you go attack the waters! Keep us posted. You can PM me with any ?'s you may have as well.
Go gettum!
thanks for the advice and youre help =]Originally Posted by BingJr
Any time. Kids and fishing are really what its all about!
Mistery,
What does that rod say on it?
What lure rating? 1-3oz? 3-5oz? etc...
What is the line rating? 15-25?
What's the action? M, MH, H XH?
Can't say I know the rod...who makes it?
Killer reel dude way to go....now your on the right path.
I sent you a PM also....

Looks like you took my advice on the reel and some! The Calcutta is a very nice reel.
I've never heard of the rod, but as long as it can handle up to 8oz baits, you will be in good shape when it comes time to chuck that BBZ.
Good luck with it!
It is 4.4 oz
not to good of rod but not too bad ethier but it will do for now =] ill take a pic and post it up rite now

Very nice setup, Calcutta's rock!
I take my 201B (the smaller size) fishing for rockfish, and it just pulls and wont stop.
Do practice casting, make sure that your reel's release tension (how fast the line comes off the reel), or whatever it is called, is set right. You just want the line to fall of not too fast. Once you can cast well you might wanna send the reel into Shimano to get it oiled and surfaced because you can cast 2x further when you do!
I see a future of big bass coming you way! Have fun
