Notaro,
GO FOR IT. I did it and I haven't regretted it for a second. One word of advice Saltheart gave me several years ago. Don't go cheap to start or you'll never be happy. Get something you'll be happy with for a while. You'll lose interest fast with substandard gear. An ABU 6500 is a good start, make sure you get at least a C3 and get the best rod you can afford. If your goal is to fish heavy jigs in the canal you'll probably want to start out with an ABU 7000 sized reel. You can get a 7000C and throw bearings in it for less than a 7000 C3 costs. Again, get a decent rod. There are soem decent factory rods out there for far less than a custom. I have always had good luck at M&D's, you caould always PM mikecc or any of the other sponsoring shops and they would probably be happy to help you out.
