re: Recommend Me a Good Bass Rod and Reel

Thanks for the advice.
Any advice on tackle?
I ordered some 10lb test line, which is what the reel said "10lb/240yds". Also ordered some 1/16oz and 1/8oz black worm head weights, and some 4/0 hooks (all recommended to me by the guys ive been fishing with), and a bag of blue and black 10.5in worm (it looked similar to what they have been putting me fishing with).

10 lb should do although I like 15. Get some zoom ultravibe speed craws and speed worms. I like them because you can fish them on bottom like other soft plastics but you can also swim them and even fish them on top. Also get a few 3/8 oz spinner baits. You'll start expanding from their once you get comfortable fishing those baits.

With that spinning reel set up, I would recommend learning the wacky rig. It's about the only thing I use a spinning reel for when bass fishing. Simple and effective. Get some Yum Dingers and just hook it straight into the plastic. Or you can go the o-ring route. But I haven't noticed my baits getting less torn up using the O-rings.
Once the addiction sets in, you should apologize to your bank account in advance.

Any other spots around lafayette for good bass fishing? I hear henderson is a good area?
Henderson can be good, but it can be a PITA to figure out sometimes. Lake Martin can also be good, but the amount of grass in there can be a PITA. Do you have a boat? You can't really fish Henderson from the bank. There's a few spots along the levee, but they aren't always productive.
