Dedicated 5” Senko casting rod … ?

@jejenkyns: indeed. Of course it’s a choice and both bc and spinning reels can handle senkos. 
 

Peeling line is okay, but I wouldn’t want to do that over 200 casts or if it’s deep as you mentioned. That’s a PITA and wasted energy/effort. 
 

Not only that, the potential if you don’t pull off enough line and fast enough is that the senko will pendulum away from your intended target instead of dropping into the intended target. 
 

With that said, I use both reel types but depending on the situation, the spinning outshines the bc the deeper you go if you have to pull line off. Pulling line off to drop to 20’ is maddening, but I still do it when forced to, lol.

During the early spring I like to get back in the brush and pitch a Senko on casting gear. The rod I use is a 7’ Med/fast BPS “Pro Qualifier” - more than sensitive enough for 2-3 feet of water with 14lb Fireline, and affordable enough to not worry too much about tangling with the Salt Cedars.

Spinning vs casting always worth a few pages of “discussion”. ?

It’s like the old Ron White comedy line….”I had the right to remain silent but I didn’t have the ability”.  ?

NRX 893.  Best weightless Senko casting rod ever made.  Not even debatable.
