"This windy, cold weather has pretty much shut down the backwater fishing," Capt. Scott Stewart said. "The trout and redfish were on a big bite before this huge cold front arrived.

What should i look for when buying a new fishing rod?
I am looking to upgrade but my budget is only 40-50 dollars for a rod. i saw at my local gander mountain, and i saw a rod that had 6-7 ball bearings but it was a spinning rod but i saw another rod that was a bait casting rod but it was only 3 ball bearings. what is the difference? i had a spinning rod but i want to change to a bait casting rod. What should i get?
Are you talking about a reel? They are the ones that have ball bearings. Ball bearings make a reel smoother. It's better to have 3 or 4 "good" bearings, than 8-9 "crappy" bearings. Most reels that have those multiple bearings and are low priced usually aren't worth buying. (All those bearings are probably crappy.) The main things i look at when buying a new reel is : amount of line recovery per rotation, line capacity, weight, and the number of ball bearings. What specific kind of fish are you fishing for? I could hook you up (no pun intended) with some pretty good reels. But for $40-$50 you aren't going to get "tournament" quality.
You mentioned rod, so i will go ahead and tell you what i look for in a rod : length, rod action, tip action, and weight size recommendation, along with line weight recommendation. Another big thing is graphite. Ask anyone and they will tell you graphite rods are the best to get. Don't have to pay a hefty price, you can buy a graphite rod for $25. Again if you give me some names of the fish you are fishing for i could help you out with a rod.
You don't necessarily have to give up on your spinning reel. Keep it too. If you're bass fishing, use the bait caster for Texas rigs, spinner baits, jigs, med-deep diving crank baits, top water frogs, along with top water poppers and walk-the-dog baits. In bass fishing, 50% of what i throw are Texas rigged plastics. That category of Texas rigs includes : lizards, worms, crayfish, any kind of creature bait.
And for the spinning reel? Spinning reels work good with : spinner baits, shallow diving crank baits, drop shotting, split shotting, weight-less rigs, and other finesse applications. The finesse techniques include : drop shotting, split shotting, weight less rigs, and a heck of a lot more. These require light lines, long rods, lighter action rods, and smaller baits. Finesse techniques are very good for heavily pressured, or clear water lakes, and also are effective in cold water.
If you want a 40-50 dollar rod, get the Shakespeare Ugly Stik Lite. If you want a 40-50 dollar reel, try the Mitchell 300 XE spinning reel or a Bass Pro Shops bait casting reel. If you are wanting a combo, save up another $50 or so. When you get around $100 get the Mitchell 300XE on a 6'6 medium action Ugly Stik Lite, or a Bass Pro Shops bait casting reel on a 6'6 med-heavy action Ugly Stik Lite.
Happy fishing.
(PS, if you want any more info on bass fishing just add details to this question or send me a message. I will try my hardest to help you.)
