My setup is 7' Perigee ll MH/F with 2000 Spinning spooled 10B and 10FC leader. Works well for me fishing from the bank. May increase the # test on the braid .
You can use a gear ratio from 5.4:1 to 6.1:1 or for a faster retrieve 7.2:1. I am using 6.1:1 but for smaller(shallow) lipless cranks I use a spinning setup.
I have been using KVD for a few years now on all my lines. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/search-tackle.html?start=0&count=20&searchtext=KVD+Line+Conditioner
I use a mixture of name brands of crankbaits. There are always pretty good sales on all the major tackle dealer websites.Also checkout your local shops. I didn't like the ones from Temu or Ali what you see is not what you get IMO.
I have a few 2 pc rods from Kastking, they use a spigot ferrule system. Now called Power Transtion System on the newer models. Never had any issue with them. I don't know about other brands. If you have any questions feel free to message me.
You need to do what is best for you. If using a BC causes you pain then by all means go to spinning. It is what you feel comfortable with. There are certain situations where a spinning reel my not work as well as as baitcaster IMO. Just go out enjoy fishing with what works for you.

I have both baitcasting and spinning setups depening on the size of the lures I am using.
Not a Bill Lowens rod. I am using a KK Speed Demon Pro rod labeled as a Carolina rod it is 7'6" F/MH. So what I am saying there are so many other brands of rods that you can use as a swim jig rod if you can't find that particular rod.
I wish I could..... Some brands don't have the exact bait that you specifically want as to style, colors etc. For example some brands stick worms are better then another brand. We also need to keep the bait monkey fed.
Look at High Speed Oil from Boca Bearings also Spool Speed SF Lube from Spoolspeed.com
What I have been using is ReelX oil. This stuff is really good. www.corrosionx.com
