Reminds me of when my Dad was alive,we spent a lot of time Bass fishing. Once he passed away I lost intrest because I lost my best fishing Buddy. He could slay bass like a champ taught me all I know about it. Keep it up together and enjoy that quality time with your son. I have a question for you. I have not bought a Bait Casting Reel or Rod in 15 years all I ever used was Ambassador 5000 with a stiff rod for worm fishing. Could you recommend a reasonable bait casting combo for fishing heavy cover with Lizards. Flukes and spinner baits. Thanks
