I’ve been in the market to get a nicer spinning setup, but not spending too much money at the same time. Last night I went to the local Dick’s Sporting Goods and found some killer clearance items, the prime one being a Lews Speed Spin SS300A. Now I’m sure in the world of spinning reels I could have done MUCH better, but this reel is nicer than any of the spinning reels I currently own. Also it was on clearance for $29.97 so I figured I really couldn’t go wrong. Last night I put it on my cheap Daiwa Samurai Medium Fast rod and am going to be slinging it after work. What rod would you suggest I start looking for to pair with this new reel? I would really like to make this a good spinning set up that could be an all-around soft plastics combo and allow me to start pitching plastics under docks more in this summer heat.
Thanks!
