Rod and spinning reel for 7 year old

Posted by burgeman on 4/21/25 at 3:08 pm

Looking to upgrade my twin boys zebco to something they can use long term. Would I be wrong to get them something a little shorter, like 6' medium heavy with a fast action?

We mostly fish a large (over 9 acre) pond with lots of brush from the bank, sometimes we will hop in a little flat boat and paddle the edges.

Pond has bass, bream, perch. I mostly hook up a Texas rigged worm on their rods.

Not looking to spend over $80 a set up, got to buy two of them.

I didn't get to play much of anything anymore, started path of exile 2 but didn't feel like grinding.

That happens with age, going to give Marathon a try or just a single player now?

I tried to look up rock and rolls but couldn't find anything specific. Anyone else have an idea?

Whatever the mailer that went out has everyone up in arms. Even retired judges are appalled.

It's unfortunate the Southland tourney is in Lake Charles this year. Always nice to waste a day watching tournament baseball at The Pat.

SLU v University of Southwestern Louisiana, baseball directional school showdown

Posted by burgeman on 3/17/25 at 9:31 pm

The battle for the best directional school in Louisiana goes down Wednesday.

USL won the first match up while SLU was still in preseason coast mode, so that game won't count. Like a LeBron led Lakers team, the Lions didn't really start playing until the games meant something.

I expect USL to throw their ace Wednesday night in hopes of not getting embarrassed. This is a must win for the Cajuns, so I fully expect them to blow it.

Lion Up

I would set up a live stream for the game but I don't want the Cajuns to throw a hissy fit and get it taken down as they are prone to do.

Just has a mud hole with fake beaches and places of sinful games.

Hammond is centrally located major metropolitan areas and has a very nice downtown area with world class restaurants.

I wouldn't go to Lafayette for a tournament either, that's why they moved the boys basketball championships.
