Which of these braided lines would you load onto a 2500 Shimano Nasci spinning reel? 15lb 4 strand or 20lb 8 strand

Was at Walmart this morning and noticed that they have Falcon EVO casting rods on clearance for $20! Thinking about going back and picking up a couple. Thoughts?

I have three casting rods and 2 reels and would like some guidance as to which reel matches best with which rod and what the 'primary' purpose would be best suited for those setups. I will be purchasing a $100-$125 baitcaster for the remaining rod. About me, I live in NE Georgia and fish large reservoirs (Lake Hartwell, Lanier) for the most part and to be honest, I never catch anything. I have a runabout that I fish from with a HELIX 5 installed. I have just found it difficult coming from northern Illinois and Minnesota where the lakes have weeds and underbrush. So much easier than rocky bottom lakes they have here. That said, here is the equipment I am trying to match up. Any help would be greatly appreciated! REELS: Abu Garcia Revo STX - 6.4:1 Daiwa Tatula SV TW - 8.1 RODS: Googan Squad Muscle - 7ft5in Heavy Power, Extra Fast Action St Croix Mojo Bass (Jig-N-Worm) - 6ft6in Med-Heavy Power, Fast Action St Croix Avid - 6ft6in Med-Heavy Power, Moderate Action **I do have two other baitcasters and another rod that are probably not worth mentioning just because they are very low end.

Just picked up a St Croix Avid AC66MHM (for $50!!) and looking for recommendations on a good reel to pair with it in the $100-$125 range for a dedicated crank bait rod. I have a $50 gift certificate at Bass Pro Shop so will probably be purchasing there. Also what speed would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

I have the Patriarch XT and LOVE it!

Mann's Baby 1 Minus Red Hooks. Best shallow running crank I have EVER used!

Just got my Ardito MH casting travel rod today and had a question about putting it together. Is the idea to cover up ALL of the buffed area? I have about a good half inch to an inch or so exposed on both pieces and concerned if I forced to cover the entire buffed area I won't ever get it apart. How do I know if it is sufficiently 'tightened'?

The Ardito it is! Thank you everyone. For a medium heavy stick should I go with the 7' or 7'6" model? I currently have the reel on a St Croix Mojo Bass 7' MH Rod so thinking of going with the additional 6 inches that may provide some additional lengthy for when I am flipping? Maybe it doesn't matter?

Looking for a travel Rod to pair with my Revo STX baitcaster. Would like to keep range around $150-$175. Any ideas would be great!

$500 budget for a spinning rig used primarily for fishing Senko's Wacky style and would prefer a medium setup vs medium/light. How would you spend it?

In the $250 range, is the Shimano Sustain still the way to go or has newer tech made these yesterday's news?

Is 3.9oz heavy for a quality 7ft MFA spinning rod?

New member and on the Aurora/Naperville side. Looking forward to the spring that is for sure!

Looking at one of these to pair with my MojoBass 7' Medium FA Tubes/Grubs rod. Also what size would you go with? This is going to be a medium setup to go along with my Medium/Light setup which is a St Croix Premier ML rod w/Shimano Stradic 2000.
