I figured that's the answer I would get. But they're not on sale right now so I didn't know if there was anything else. Am I right when it comes to gear ratios and uses for each setup?

So I took advantage of the 2 for $50 deal on the Rick Clunn rods and they're working really great for me so far. Right now I have the lipless crank which is 7' M paired with a 6.4:1 Johnny Morris Signature series. I use it for square bills and lipless cranks. The other rod is the jerbait rod which is 6'6 MH, I don't have a reel on it. I'm thinking about using it for poppers and and other hard jerkbaits like rapala xraps. Maybe even throw some buzz baits on it because I have nothing else to throw them on. So to do these things what reel should I put on it? I was thinking a high ratio like 7 something. The reel needs to be left handed and a budget reel. $100 max. I will also buy used if you have anything to offer. Thanks, Christian

I use a 6'6 ML F St. Croix Triumph for the same application and I love it. Although Its spinning not casting.

I have the lipless and jerkbait, don't lusten to the lure ratings. In my opinion they're off.

Mine had a decent amount, about six of them, but only two of the models. I'm debating if I want to buy more.

The rick clunn s-glass rods are two for fifty at dicks. I picked some up and was throwing square bills on them. Awesome deal and a pretty great rod for $25. *usually $90*

I got the lipless crank and jerbait models today. Took them out for a test run. Cought a few fish. And let me say they were great. I didn't think they were too heavy, and they had good feel and sensitivity too them. I threw a kdvsquarebill most of the time and it worked great. For $50 I might just have to buy two more. Great deal. And I don't mind the crackle finish.

I took advantage of the sale today. Going out to the local pond in a few. Seems like a great deal!

That's exactly it, got aome with my Sahara too, they're a helpful little tool.

I have it on my spinning set up to try, I like it so much that I spooled my other gear up with it to. Great overall line when it comes to things like manageability, strength, and abrasion resistance. I would highly recomend it.

I use a 6'6 St.Croix Triumph ML F with a Shimano Saharah 2500 for the exact aplication your looking for. I love it. Sensative and light rod with a solid smooth reel. Spool it up with some 6lb yo-zuri hybrid and your set. I would highly suggest it. The combo would run you about 140-160

I only have a some sierras and saharahs..

Thabks for the info guys. I was just curious.

I was just wondering if there is anyway to improve a spinning reel when it comes to tuning. I know in a baitcaster new bearings make it cast farther, but does it have any affect in a spinning reel?

Watch youtube videos, it helped me a lot. And practice, practice, practice! Iv been doing it for a while now and still am only a decent caster.

Haha its not that. Its on a bps nitro that's a one piece, and for me its difficult to haul a 7ft rod. Iv used it some and its really nice, I just don't get enough use out of it. I'm partial to spinning gear anyways.

I have a Johnny Morris signature series, its a great reel, runs 160 new.. also willing to sell mine.

Oh trust me I'm not done lol. That's just all I have, some of it is cheap but I'm confident in it and am glad I have it. Just don't have that much money. I'm getting better quality gear as time passes, the St. Croix just got added to my collection, and the 8 and 10wt fly rods.

Well... I guess I'm a little behind. Spinning: Berkley Cherrywood 6'6 M F / Shimano Sienna- shakey heads and jerkbaits Berkley Cherrywood 5' UL F / Pflueger Trion- Small inline spinners and weightless plastics Shimano Clarus 5'6 MH XF / Pflueger President- Live bait St. Croix Triumph 6'6 ML F / Shimano Saharah- T rigs, shakey heads, small cranks, and jerkbaits Fly Rod: Redington Pursuit 9' 6wt F / TFO prism- small bass and panfish flies. Trout also. TFO Hawgleg 7'11 8wt F / White River Osprey- Large bass flies, pike flies, and carp flies. World Wide Sportsman 9' 10wt F / White River Kingfisher (Spooled with 350 grain sink line)- Musky flies. That's everything.

Unfortunately by the sounds of it.. it might be a little too expensive for me to get into.

Thanks a ton! Now i just have to decide if i want to get into this or get a new fly rod...

What are all the materials I need to begin airbrushing my own hard body baits? Be specific please. I dont have a ton of money to spend, but i would like to try my hand at it. Thanks.

St. Croix is a good rod, great customer service too. For me I fish strictly spinning, most guys on here fish mainly Baitcasting. To me it's mostly what your most comfortable with, if your confident and comfortable with what your using, you'll have more fun and a better chance of catching a fish. I have a st droid triumph that I really like, if you can afford it I would look into a St. Croix Avid or Premier. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot guys! Ordered it yesterday. Cant wait, I have heard so many good things about it. Il spool it up on my sahara, sienna, and my Girlfriends new rod I just ordered.

I dont have any line conditioner, didnt know if it was worth buying or not.
