Having Casting Issues. Possibly Using Wrong Gear.
This setup should really launch a bait out there.Sounds like you dont have enough line on the reel.Spool up to within 1/16-1/8 " from the spool lip and you should be good to go. Let us know T

Quantum Custom Rods
I agree with Fat-G on this subject. Also I would fish with a Pocket Fisherman if they paid me what they paid KVD to fish Quantum. T

Daiwa Spinning Reel Question
I use spinning tackle maybe about 10% of the time, but the 10% I use them I use a Daiwa Tierra 2500 and a Sol 2500.I have had several Shimano spinning reels and like the Daiwa's better even though I am a Shimano baitcasting guy.Oh and yeah they have never broken and are well made. T

What do you want in a topwater rod??
Go with baitcasting... This is the rod I use also,it is designated as the TWS (top water special)and was designed by Zell Rowland.It was designed to throw 1/4 oz Pop-R baits but as mentioned it can double as a crankbait rod. The rod is a lighter power than a MF but heavier than a ML.I have tried a MF baitcasting rod for Pop-R's but it does not do it as well as the TWS.Good all around rod you can get pretty reasonable(new $49.99) T
