airborne_angler Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 The setups I use the most are casting setups,with a baitcaster and casting rod. The only time really ever use a spinning setup,is when I dropshot or I'm wanting to get distance on a light lure without the fear of a birdsnest. I also use a spinning setup for light jerkbaits. Have a 1 piece MH 6'3" spinning rod. What application would this be best for? Quote
Jake P Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I use a 6'6" MH/F spinning rod for senkos. I always have one T rigged weightless ready to go. It has become my senko rod cause its just about the only thing i throw on it. Quote

airborne_angler Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 How would a 6'3" MH spinning rod be for larger spoons,like a Strike King Sexy Spoon,or a 3/4 to 1oz Kastmaster? Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 30, 2012 Super User Posted April 30, 2012 Only time I would use a MH rod is if the vegetation is thick, otherwise I'd opt for a lighter set up. That being said not all mh rods are the same, some may fish lighter. I would personally use a 6'3 mh rod for larger species, 3/4 oz-1oz spoons should be perfect for that rod. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted April 30, 2012 Super User Posted April 30, 2012 The MH rod would be fine for heavier spoons and/or Senko type fishing. For jerkbaits, tubes and some of the lighter cranks, I'd opt for a 7' medium action spinning rod. This rod could do double duty as a DS rod, but I prefer a light to medium light action if you DS frequently. More fun! Quote
