Thanks for all the suggestions. As far as irons, I still plan on using my spin reels. This community might not completely agree but I still plan on being a spin fishing guy most of the time. I just want to try something new and thought this might be the best way in. I realize it is a bit of a cheat if I plan on just dropping 60% + of the time but I like the idea of being able to let the fish take some line before I set the hook. Plus it will give me the opportunity to practice a bit and maybe in a year I can upgrade or expand. That will cause more un with the wife I am sure. As far as San Marcos. I started fishing there when I was 5. (42 now). When I was in HS I would drive to the lake and just take the boat out without ever seeing the grand parents. Needless to say, yes I have taken some HOGS from there. Love that lake.
