I don't venture into the bass fishing section, but I need basic bait caster and spinning reel set up.
What is a good entry-level set up from Bass Pro?

Get a shimano slx in the 6.3 ratio and a Falcon 7’ medium heavy rod for the baitcaster setup. You can effectively throw just about anything on that. And then get another one in the 7.2 ratio and forget about the spinning [censored]

Absolutely this, the Zillion is what the Chronarch aspires to be when it grows up.

Right or left handed retrieve? Have your butler drive to Academy and pick the following: ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/05/full-30144-223882-shimano.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/05/full-30144-223883-shimano2.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/05/full-30144-223884-falcon.png)

Right or left handed retrieve? Have your butler drive to Academy and pick the following: Academy has changed their return policy on rods, I will no longer buy fishing poles from them.

This is what happens when Academy Sports expands outside of Texas into Oklahoma and Arkansas.
