First off I want to say I'm mostly a kayak/bank fisherman, not a boater, so I'm usually only carrying 2-5 rods. That being the case I like to get a lot of use out of each setup. Lately I've noticed I get very little use out of the cranking rod I picked up. I like throwing cranks, but the amount of time I am in an area where it's appropriate technique is limited. So what else should I be throwing on a moderate action rod (7', 1/4-3/4oz, 8-17lb test. Paired with 6.3:1 reel).
The first thing I was thinking is changing out the line from 12lb floro to maybe copoly? I know it might take a little off my cranking depth, but would allow me to throw spooks and maybe poppers on it. I'm not sure if I'll get the proper walking action without a fast tip though. I was also thinking maybe jerk baits? Again not sure what line would be good. I don't even have any jerk baits yet, mostly throw a fluke for that presentation. Possibly spinners or chatterbaits?
Any other ideas on what else I might be able to throw on it? Should I change out the floro for something with neutral buoyancy?
For reference my other rods are: 2x 7' MH (6.3:1, 7.1:1) 30lb braid to leader (1 mono, 1 floro). 7' M spinning setup, 10lb braid to leader. 7'6" H, 50lb braid.
