i was wrong all along
I have one baitcasting set up. I will need at least 2 more for different teqniques. The rest of my rods will stay spinning for now. I need 1 for plipping n pitching which is the combo i already have. I need another one for punching and 1 for frogs. Budget of about 200 each combo For punching im lookjng at the lighting rod 7'6 heavy. Anybody have that rod?

i was wrong all along
I dont think i could ever stop using spinning gear but im gonna be using a casting gear a lot more. Just as reference, for punching i use a 7'3 heavy action spinning rod with a 4000 reel. Caught hundreds of fish with that set up but it is very heavy and tiring. Im gonna replace that set up with a casting rig. By the way that lightning rod is not a bad rod.

i was wrong all along
Ive always been a all spinning type of guy. I flip, punch, topwater, and crank with spinning gear. Well last week my girl gifted me a 7ft berkley lightning rod and a 2016 shimano caenan, i wasnt too excited but i decided to take it with me on a fishing trip today. It changed my whole perspective on baitcastin gear, it made flipping and punching 100% easier. I feel like i was way more efficient with my casting and i was more accurate. Im a beleiver now. That being said, bait monkey has me by the throat and i need some new reels.

H20 Express Hollow Body Bream
Hooks are great, they are mustad hooks. They become dull easily so id sharpen them often. Walking it is easy, it walks just like a frog
