awesome man, thanks for the help

i guess this is a sign to get the cardiff!!
the rago sounds perfect, because any fast sinking biat is not good for ponds because the bottom of these ponds are just algae and other pond scum

i tried my reel today and it seems to be doing fine, i dont know why it was acting up, but the only thing of concern is tht it kinda makes a continuos clicking noise while reeling, i think it may be the bearings knocking, but its working fine!!

the cardiff is the reel i'm getting robably
i'm still am torn between the okuma and the shimano swimbait rod though

thanks for your help

god bless
