sounds good ill try em both out. now just make the right decision on a rod and reel? like i said before im gonna get a 7:1:1 gear ratio reel just dont know what a the right one is for me. looking at a quantum kvd reel.

Yea just get so lost on what line I should really go with, Fluoro or braid and what lb. Might just buy some braid and fluoro and try em both. Yea waste of money but, how else can I figure out what I will like. Actually have only fished braid once on a buddies rod for a few minutes didn't know the difference then though. What is a basic lb I can start with with fluoro and braid?!

I'll check em out teal. To be honest I have never heard of a copolymer line Mr swim jig. Lol I'm pretty noob with line

Is that 15# fluoro? @ Mr swim jig

Thanks motodmast. I like seaguar line. Kinda looking into some other brands of line like Berkley 100%. Just a lot of brands to choose from when it comes to reels and rods here at the local bass pro.

thanks for the replies guys just what i was looking for. my price range is about $250 to $300 max. which i know i can find something descent for that price. thats one problem on my black max is anything over 3/8 the reel will not put up with. also have had alot of trouble over running my spool alot with the black max. had a AG revo winch running fluoro and a skeet reese 7'0 rod and dialed it in once and never over ran the spool once. but is it pretty common to use about #20 fluoro as a main line and the same line as a leader on a c-rig. im thinking that will be the best deal. thinking of going with a 7:1 reel and a 7'0 mh rod with #20 fluoro. sound about right? anybody tried the AG revo sx and is there a 7:1 gear ratio for that reel?

hey guys new here. hopefully im posting in the right place. im looking at buying a new setup for fishing some soft plastics (worms) and jigs. looking for anybodys opinion on what is the best combination of rod (lengths), reel (gear ratios), and line that will be best for this technique. i know there is really no (best) rod, reel, just really someones personal opinion that they like. but ive been fishing these techniques with a abu garcia black max (6.4.1), abu garcia vengeance rod (6'6 medium) and some berkley 12lb mono. from the little bit of research that ive done this setup is not that great for jigs or worms. been seeing people using like 50 lb braid for these techniques. got a little confused on why so heavy? but i may try this out on this next setup. looking at buying some good brands like quantum rod, reels. or some better reels from abu garcia. dont really care for there rods. please give me some opinions on the what you guys like to use. ill only be fishing this setup out of a boat casting to the bank in heavy cover, moss etc.
