I think the bean counters that the greedy corporate types hire are killing the retail shopping brick & mortar stores off. I live next to Cabelas and not far from bass pro but don't shop there often do to the poor inventories and selections of mid to upper end products.
I carry five in my Native Slayer 12'
top water jerk bait rod med pwr 6'8" casting
spinner bait large top water mh 6'9" casting
small jigs and soft jerk baits mxf 7'3" spinning
crank bait rod med pwr 7' casting
large soft plastics buzzbaits 7'1" mxf casting
my spring & fall smallmouth setups summer low water I go l to ml setups 1 spinning 4 casting.
Sufix 832 braid neon lime #10 no leader in clear water I can watch my line and get the most sensitivity and sm bass have poor reading skills so they don't know any better and just eat the fake bait even if a bright line is attached to it.
Daiwa fuego type a 1000 size I have 3 (1 )on a g loomis glx 6'7" ul rod (1) on a g loomis sjr6400 imx mag lite rod (1) on a g loomis Imx 6' sjr 720 mag lite rod.
I have 2 sv105l reels 1 px type rl reel 1 sv on a dobyns dx702c 1 on a daiwa steez flex lite ml 6'5" rod and the px type r on a Kistler ltx med 6'6" Rod. I think they all cast lures of various weights well probably fished all combo's about 10 fishing trips on the Susquehanna river for smallmouth.The rod needs to be able to load the lure weights effectively all the rods I'm using are lighter powdered which makes a huge difference in casting small lures.
Dobyns champion extreme dx 702c line 6-12 lure 1/8 to 1/2oz ml just a tad over $300.00 this rod can do it all with light lures jigs,soft plastic,buzzbaits,crankbaits small spinnerbaits,and it is super sensitive and you can purchase one at American legacy fishing,
I say try a Daiwa spinning reel they do not twist line like most spinning reel brands .The real secrete is to stop the line with your finger close the bail by hand and don't crank the handle when the drag is being used.I own 8 daiwa sol's 4 fuego's type a's and 3 tierra's and there are no line twist issues with any of these reels.

i had a rod shipped to my place of work by UPS it was a 6'6" all star one piece. but when UPS
was done the shipping tube was broke in half. TWO 39" ice fishing rods nice!susQbassman
a few months ago cabelas had 25% off all rods and reels
except SHIMANO. I guess this is a shimano thing,no discounts!
glad i use the other brand DAIWA susQbassman.
