I know Im a nnob on here but Ive been fishing since a small child, I love bait casters more so for crankbaits, top water, spinner bait, buzz baits, in deep weeds ect. I use my 6,6 with a 6.4.1 for anything not on top water, I peronally like 7.1.1 for topwater and frog fishing, but thats my style im comfortable with
