Here's some info and a video ~ A-Jay http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/carolina-rig-video.html http://www.bassresource.com/hank-parker-fishing/carolina-rig.html http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/carolina_rig.html

Sounds good. The 6930 should be good for either rod. The 6925 is pretty small. Something that may be helpful is to visit your friendly local vendor and mount a few different reels on the rod you want. Doesn't tell the whole story but at least you'll get a feel for how the reel & rod combo feels & balances in your hand before making your purchase. Good Luck A-Jay

For the applications you're mentioned, I'd go with a 6935 on the 7 ft rod. As .ghoti. already mentioned, depending on the line you chose, capacity could be a concern while striper fishing. A-Jay

The Rizzo Wiz is a fairly famous in-line Spinner routinely used for musky ~ especially in Wisconsin. Fairly basic bait - looks like a bucktail spinner which uses a slightly over-sized tube bait instead of bucktail material.

I cover & protect all my rods. They are the Tools of my Trade and a few of them, although not really worth much $$$, have quite a bit of sentimental value ~ not to mention tons of wicked good mojo. Stick Jackets work well. However, several of my more precious wands get the royal treatment and when they are not doing their thing, they live in the Rod Glove Casting Neoprene Pro Series. Very nice and still only $10 at TW. Considering the MSRP of some rods and then the cost to repair one, it's a good investment. A-Jay

After expending the time, effort and $$ to get a good one, not using a net is like spending all day in the tree stand, having the Big Boy waltz right into your sweet spot and right before you let your arrow fly, you remove the broad head. C'mon Person . . . . A-Jay

Nice fish - I guess 5.875 pounds. A-Jay
