I use a M/Mod spinning setup with 20 lb braid to a 6 or 8 lb mono leader.
I've only caught little bass on it and don't use the technique much though.
No issues with detecting strikes, most of my fishing is in less than 20 feet of water though.
I had my stuff in Plano waterproof boxes and the Edge Terminal and Jig boxes. I bought several of the Edge 3700 thins to force me to downsize what I bring on the kayak. I can still bring more than I need but I am better organized also because I can fit more boxes therefore divide them up better.

I am a huge Megabass OrcohiXX fan.
What I currently use
Chatterbaits........the SpecR
Spinnerbaits.........SpecR but sometimes I use the Tour Versatile...
Crankbaits.........I use both the Flatside Special and the Swingfire, if I had to choose I prefer the Swingfire but they are pretty interchangeable.
I do throw bigger cranks and deep diving cranks on a SpecR though.
MH/Fast.........which is generally the best all around do everything.
I use it that type for swim jigs, t-rigs, spinnerbaits, deep crank baits, Whopper Ploppers, etc.
I ordered a pair of Glacier Pro Angling gloves.
I haven't used them yet but hopefully within the month.

I have three go to spots.......
My favorite and most often fished is 25 minutes away
Close second is 50 minutes away
Third is 25 minutes away.
There's a fairly big chunk of fishable water 10 minutes from my house that's pretty good in the spring but is horrible the rest of the year.
If this helps I spent decent $$ on my first and only spinning setup to force me to try finesse more........such as dropshot and wacky rigged........
It didn't work..........lol I usually last about 5-10 minutes.
