i love fishing for chum...but then again i love to fish for pretty much anything...with the exception of maybe halibut...anyway...fish with what you have...when you get to get out and fish a ton then you will see what you want in a rod and reel and line and so on and so on...then all of a sudden you will wake up and realize you have 54 rods that do something different and your mom complaining that you spend too much on fishing and that you should build that house instead of a huge garage...when really your dream is a huge garage...one thing i have learned...dont listen to my mom...hahahhah....

sorry been drinking its my day off...what you have will work just fine...corkies and yarn work just fine for cheap if you dont have eggs or shrimp..dont spend a ton of money on things till you find out what you truly want to fish for... my fifty cents hahahahhahahh...c
