Which would you go with for a spinning rod?

What does everyone recommend for the most sensitive spinning rods? Varying price points are appreciated...but budget likely in the 200-400 range

Unsure…which doesn’t help…have a fishing trip coming up end of may…and I’m limited on the amount of rods I can bring…going to try for 3…so versatility is important as I’ll only be bring one spinning rod

Looking to add a Dobyns spinning rod to the Arsenal….will be using it for soft plastics/jigs/etc…7ft or under…what power/action do you guys recommend?

good stuff, but i always used the kvd line conditioner with it

Dont have a ton of gear but as far as rod and reels go: Spinning: - Shimano Stradic (older model) with an older BPS Carbonlite 7ft MH/F - Shimano Stradic Fj or FK cant remember on a 7'1" M/F Fx Custom rod (forget series) Casting: - Shimano Bantam MGL on a custom rod I had made - 7'1" MH/F - Shimano Metanium MGL on a Dobyns Champion Extreme HP 7'1" H/F Still working on putting together an assortment of soft plastic baits...have plenty of hardbaits/wire baits for me needs though

Thats the plan over the next few days!!

I have never really fished soft plastics before, at least not often enough to know much - but would love to learn this year as soon as it warms up - what are some of the simpler rigs/setups/baits that you guys like? Hoping to gain some confidence and make soft plastics a more regular part of my fishing!

Best time of year to use wakebaits?

love both those lines actually!

I may still go straight braid…not sure…for what it’s worth…reel is a bantam MGL and rod is a dobyns champion extreme hp 7ft heavy action

Deciding on a line for my new casting setup…Shimano bantam MGL, dobyns champion extreme hp 7ft heavy action…will be mostly used for spinnerbaits/chatterbaits Mostly for spinnerbaits and chatterbaits…durability is a bit of a concern so I’ve thoughts about abrazx too

Wanting to run a dedicated fluoro setup this year….tatsu or something else?

Looking for some different/unique spinnerbaits to try…anyone have any suggestions? Love throwing spinnerbaits and am looking for something a little different to throw when the bite gets tough

Just ordered a dobyns from tackle warehouse, their champion extreme HP split grip….hopefully I get a good one

Have an oldish Daiwa Tatula Type R that’s probably due for some service…wondering if anyone in the forums here specializes in Daiwa reels?

Mostly 1/2oz

Should go great with the Shimano bantam MGL I ordered as well!

Went with the 704

Just ordered a split grip Dobyns Champion Extreme HP casting rod to try out

Kind of what I was thinking! Anxious to try my first dobyns rod!

What situations do you use each of them? Do you consider them interchangeable? Any other tips tricks are greatly appreciated as well!

I’ve all but decided on a split grip Dobyns Champion Extreme HP for my next rod…Trying to decide on which length/action to get for a do it all rod…my favorite baits to throw are spinnerbaits and chatterbaits….was thinking the DX703c or DX704c https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Dobyns_Champion_Extreme_HP_Split_Grip_Casting_Rods/descpage-DCE.html

Which do you prefer and why?

In your experience, what rod companies/makers tend to have the best fit/finish/quality control? St Croix has always been great for me
