Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new spinning combo so I have the ability to cast lighter baits. My parents don't really believe in having more than 1 rod/reel combo so they are not going to chip in, so I'm looking for a combo in the $150 range. $180 max if I can convince them to chip in $30 haha. Any suggestions? Thanks!
-
Looking into making my own soft baits out of old plastics to save money. Does anyone have any tips to make them look better/have better action? Any tips in general because I'm just starting off.

Baby brush hog!!

Thanks! Looking at maybe a stratic. Any suggestions for rod/reels?

I'm using mostly lightly weighted or unweighted 6-inch senkos.
-
My current combo is good for senkos and jigs right?
-
I have dobyns 703c med heavy. I'm thinking of buying a spinning combo to go with my current combo that way I have the ability to cast light lures as well as the jigs and senkos im already throwing. Good or Bad idea? I really enjoy the combo I have right now, but for heavy baits.
-
My lure rating is 1/4oz to 3/4oz I believe. I am using mostly the same weights. I will occasionally throw something slightly lighter but it is rare.

I'm in California as well and been doing the same. Been a tough time of year. My local lake looks identical in the back areas and coves. I'm in NorCal

still having a lot of trouble casting any distance whatsoever, even with a jig. I have 2 breaks on and the tension is set the way you guys have told me. Couldn't cast more than 15 yards today. Any ideas?

Fished a small lake today with muddy water because of the rain in my area this past week and couldn't find any success. Threw a wacky rig, texas rig, black and blue jig, and a crankbait but had no bites. The grass in the water made it hard for the crankbait but otherwise couldn't find the problem. I fished a fallen tree, a small point, and just random areas along the bank that I thought looked good. Any suggestions? Thanks!

What is the reason for the first step? Should I respool completely?
-
I know I shouldn't be having a problem but I feel like I can't get them more than like 20 yards whereas I've seen other people cast them much further. I personally think my problem is that I keep my thumb on the line when I cast a lot because of scared of birds nest. Braking and everything also come into play but I think I just found my answer.

Jigs are 3/8oz to 3/4oz, maybe 1oz very rarely. You know the weight of senkos and all that. Idk about crankbaits though.
-
I'm mostly casting jigs, senkos, and crankbaits with the everything else occasionally.
-
Right now I keep 2 brakes on but thinking of turning them both off. I'm using 20lb braid.
-
still trying to figure out the breaking system and tension knob. Have any tips?
-
This is a big thing for me cause I fish a lot with lighter baits but can't seem to figure out how to cast them further. I also wanna know how to cast any bait further in general. I am using a 7ft medium heavy fast action rod and a Shimano Curado 201HG reel (7:2:1)
-
Lol. Love the word choice - "Importanter". Thanks for the help!
-
Thanks man! What's your biggest fish on a fluke?
-
Best Brand/Style? Size of hook? How do I work it properly in both warm and cold water? Best colors for clear/murky water? Would I just follow my general knowledge or is it different for these baits? Any other advice!? Thanks!

Seems like a fun day... What are everyone's favorite crankbait?
