carolina rig most time, using 3/4 oz egg sinker with light weight plastic worm like dead ringers. prefer low profile bait caster that is around 5 oz. for the rod im thinking the shimano poison andrena 74 heavy action(i have the 73 medium heavy as well). i currently use g loomis conquest 903c , but i feel the casting ability is not as good as my 73 andrena medium heavy.
haha, 3 people mentioned Shimano Antares, i think this is it .
i have the met dc, im wondering if Antares dc can out cast met dc, by the way, i fish carolina rig with 3/4 oz sinker most time .
