Okuma spinning reels for bass fishing

[supreme]

I need some advice being new to the forum & bass fishing. I purchased two okuma spinning reels last winter. The epixor EF-30 & Inspira ISX-30 are these spinning reels too large for bass fishing & I was giong to try P line florocarbon 10# this spring. Rods are ST CROIX MH 6.6 (Premeir & Avid). What do you guys think

I had a heck of a time with fluorocarbon on spinning gear.The line seemed to wirey, sprang off the spool like crazy.I swithed to a co- polymer line ,P- Line evolution to be exact.   Ivan

Welcome to the forums  ;D

As for your question, it depends on what types of baits you'll be throwing and the cover you'll be fishing.  It sounds like your setups are fine, but it really just comes down to whether or not you're able to cast your baits far and accurately.  If not, you may want to downsize your equipment.

I think your -30 Okuma reels will be just fine with 10# - 12# line. If you're going to be throwing light weight lures/plastics, then you may want a smaller series reel and lighter line, say 6# - 8#. IMO.

Thanks bass dudes, The casting is not a problem at the moment I have 20# spiderwire on both reels & I am debating putting on 8# GAMMA (co) or 10# P line CX line for my second spools. I personally think the reel & rod combo's might start wearing on my arms over a 4 - 6 hour time frame. I like light - heavy cover in clear - gin color lakes.

What will be the best weights to throw 3/8; 1/2; & 5/8; for jigs, spinners, & C-rigs
