wow, thanks alot john... think that answered my questions
"imagine if you get a GF this summer that wants to fish - what'll you do then - you like girls, right? JK "
Did i NOT say Fish-on was good for other then the fishin'

OF COURSE!

and what's with all this "IF" stuff??
Matoonoc...thanks, that answered my next question "WHERE" thanks alot!!
John, i know what ya mean...that's why i'm saving up for a custom rod; i'm not kidding around. or toying around, i get my Bday money soon...Hope salt has everything by then

aww the pride of a rod built just for me.....can't wait.
(salt: i hope ya just don't re-wrap a $ 15. fishmaster rod and tell me it's a custom- just to shut me up

, LOL <just kidding> i can't wait to see it....
thanks john/ everyone for helping me make my choices...i owe yas one.
Final Choice:
Abu 6500 on one of Salt's Custom Rods....and if i find a cheap 55/6500ss on Ebay i'll "slap" that on my current rod...all set
Okay, Next Question, what line do i use?what hooks?what leaders? what/who/when/why/how???? (JUST-KIDDING)
thanks for all your help!
