What gear ration do you guys prefer for spinner baits?

Gonna put buying a spinning reel on hold till I get some time on the water with this set up.

Not too shabby for a first BC setup.

LMG I passed on the Veritas and ordered a 5'6" Ugly Stik! Lmaoooo No seriously I passed on the Veritas ordered Dobyns Champion Series CS684CB Steve hooked me up with a site that has 20% off

I am now a proud owner of a Chronarch so LMG can't hate me anymore. Haha if anyone has any input on spinning rod for spinnerbaits please throw me ur opinions

I'm in same boat as you. I have had great success with M/F but I would think M/Moderate might be better. I'm all ears to what people have to say.

Goin for chronarch! Hey while I have everyones attention. Lol I switched out my SC Preimier to my Symetre (for worms and top water) and wanna put a new rod on my Stradic. Can't afford to blow $300+ on a Loomis right now. Originally was going to find use for my Crowder but not for this app. Debating between Wild Black Carrot and a Crucial maybe another SC. This set up I want as my Spinner Bait specific combo.

And LMG yes this reel/rod... This setup is gonna be my crank specific combo. As long as I get the hang of BC. Lol

Just emailed him. I thought he sold it I was trying to 'buy it now' when he put it on ebay but the tab wasn't showing up. As soon as he calls texts me to confirm I'm ordering it! UPDATE Cart at $100 My Birthday is Monday so I'm treating myself

Lol I typed w. T. F. And it auto matically put I don't understand lmaoooo

I don't understand!? Hold on

Lmaoooooooo hahahaahahhaahahaha I'm in tears! On Tacklwarehouse its on clearance for $159 Abu Revo Winch Left Hand Retrieve 5. Something ratio I wanted the Chronarch 201E5 missed one another guy was selling here, and idk been procrastinating. Made another thread about my trip to cabelas. I know other stuff I want, this pair will be my first BC set up and if its a matching set I don't see the harm in it. Trust me I'm worried about parting from Shimano but 1 reel I could give to a friend down the road isn't a big deal to me. If your free for a few minutes check out the reel let me know what you think. www.***.com/Abu_Garcia_REVO_Winch_Casting_Reel/descpage-AGRW.html

Mr. Dam0007 aka Shimano fanboy is about to purchase Vertias Winch Rod Revo Winch Reel You guys have 1 hour to discourage me or encourage me. Lmao Waiting till Black Friday to buy other stuff I don't need but want. Lol

@scaleface color or size?

I own one (2500 size) and love it! I'm with 0119, 1000 may not be the best choice for your application although with bass in the mix you can't go wrong.

Yea this Spinner Bait rocks! The Bass loved it! What surprised me is all of the spinners I have used over the years I never really had any luck nevermind 17 fish. And they were all good size.

Spider Wire Ultimate mono 6#

Thought it would be cool to share todays experience. So I have a arsenal of lures, cranks, spinners, inline spinners, worms, plugs etcetcetc. Depending which lake I fish depends what I use just from experience over the years. So today I grab 2 poles and hit my usual local lake with my brother. This lake I always have the best luck with Green Pumpkin and black power bait worms. If they're jumping for dragonflies I'll throw a inline here and there. Anyhow, the other day I grabbed a few spinners from Cabellas I think they are their brand for like $1.99 each. Never really have great luck with them regardless of color. So. We started with worms he was throwing motor oil and I started with green pumpkin. We caught 2 each in about a hours time I said let me try one of the spinners its 1/4oz size, white and blue mix color. Over the next hour 17 LMB. I have never had such luck on a spinner before. I have a new go to weapon of choice!

Thanks for input guys. For the BC reels I was planning on doing 2 chronarchs one 5:1 the other 7:1. Give me a couple days to look up gear you guys listed before I respond further. To answer financial restriction question, I'm cool with dropping $800 on 2 setups. And if I can make out good on Black Friday or during holidays in general, I may go further. Key is a 1 for 1/4-1/2oz Cranks and 1 for 1/4oz spinners. I have a Lamiglas SW rod, good stuff! Been uber busy with work sorry for late reply.

at the rate things are going I wouldn't be surprised if GM/Ford starts getting outsourced to China.

I have spinning gear covered just looking at the baitcasting gear for the job specific applications. From what I'm gathering any mh mh/f 6'-7'6" I'm gonna be golden. What rods do u use? Brand/etc.

I stand 110% behind Spider Ultimate mono. Sinks like Fluoro almost zero stretch like braid and castability of Mono. You can't go wrong. I love it so much that if you read this and live in CT I will give you a spool! Lol Still dying to try Fluoro on a BC set up tho.

Finally had time for the 2hr drive to Cabellas to pick up the Veritas Winch rod. Didn't buy it. Grabbed 4 cranks and 2 spinners instead Ok so while looking around I almost whipped out my Visa and put $3k on it then I realized I can't possibly make any smart decision with the whole kid in a candy store feeling I had. Also thought about how much I hate being a responsible adult lmaoo There's so many rods i see you all mention on a regular basis so I'm gonna name a few with hopes owners will respond their likes and dislikes then I'm gonna make a list of how many setups/jobs I want. Fenwick - forgot model Duckett - Magic something (not micro guide) St Croix - Rage G Loomis - SXX blue or something the 6' was $455 Shimano - Crucial ----- Ok here's what I want to do, I want 6 set ups. 4 for Bass 2 for Trout. My Trout gear is fine need the Bass stuff covered. The 4 Bass like this 2 spinning 2 Baitcast I have Spinning reels already and know which Baitcasters to get - 6'6"-7 M/F with low gear ratio reel for cranks - 7'+ with mod/high gear ratio reel for spinners and or cranks in heavy cover. For Spinning rods I have - 6'6" M/f I use currently for cranks, Worms, misc. - 6' ML/Moderate I use for spoons, plugs, and inline spinners. Basically always use 1/4-5/8 size stuff and I want to basically have. 1 rod for Worms 1 rod for cranks, divers 1 rod for Spinners, inline spinners 1 Rod for top water plugs, swimmers etc. HELPPPPPPP!!!! I'm sure whatever I buy is gonna be just fine. And ATTENTION LMG this will be 2 Stradics 2 Chronarchs lmaooo

@OP Go with 2500 for all casting stuff, 3000 if you trolling lakes for trout/walleye. @iabass8 I'm jealous I would love to have a 1000 stradic in my arsenal.

Anytime bro! I have other stuff I wanna buy over next few months but I def want a 5000FJ to replace my Penn Battle. What size do you want to get yours in?
