Been a caster all my life. I want to start trolling this year on a blue collar budget. I have read as much info on this page as I can find and I really appreciate all the info u folks put out. From the info I've gathered from u guys I've decided to invest in 4 counter real rod combos and some bandits and spoons to start with. I will work up from there. Going to go with inline planners on the outside and tt 30's off the back. (Fishing west of beesy and south of west sister to the turn around. ) I've read mono is best to use with in lines. Question; am I pointed in the right direction for a low dough weekender? Capt. Jules Capt Eric your word is gospel to me. And all else that contribute. Like I said I'm just a weekender that wants to show my parents and wife a great time. Any advice would b great. I intend to buy my lures locally. Where can I get the ib frozen and other popular bandits?
