Welcome to S-B

What size / model reel ?

[stormfish]

Hybrid bass = Spot bass cross with Striped bass.
Freshwater 'striped bass' (not hybrid) can reach up to >50 lbs! Not sure about Tennessee but Arkansas I'm pretty much sure.

Thanks for the welcome man.

I have a GSS40 Guide Series from Gander Mtn. The spool looks about medium size. It is a spinning reel though. I've heard it is better to use baitcasting reels when fighting larger fish but never have done it before though.

Thanks.
