Default Re: setup question for beginner

The specs on that BG 3500 match up with the line weight of the Ugly Stik you are lookin at. It's overkill for pond/pan fishing but you should be set up for larger freshwater fish and the bay and inlets. Your best bet would be to put the reel on the rod to feel how it weighs and balances. I do a lot of fresh water/salt water inshore fishing also and don't have anything over a 3000 series on my crossover setups.
