Rod for Spinnerbaits and Topwaters
dobyns fury wins out of the two. both are good rods. use mono because it floats. good luck

Protecting your equipment
Good question. I put my rods in the passenger seat of my truck and let them face the back of the truck. Like others said, rod sleeves and reel covers work great. I don't use them when bank fishing with 2-3 rods as they are a pain to put on and off. just be careful when you put it on the ground. You can also buy combo carriers like the tackle warehouse rod quiver. a pic pipe on your roof rack is a good idea too.

What line do you use on your BFS?

Spawn Tips
if they are smaller LMBs, use finesse texas rig with spinning gear, or small hair jigs hopped wth a casting reel. Has produced over 150 bass for me so far. same scenario as you too.

Spinning vs Casting
looking to go short because that rod comes with the smoke reel for only 180. most likely to go wit the stradic and powell

I think I found what I've been looking for. it is a Stradic Ci4+ that is used and its is a 3000 size. $150 and it comes with braid. I will also get the powell max 3D 7'1" MH for 100. what do you think?

Spinning Setup Advice
I was looking at the eyecup, its actually 120 from cabbalas! I like shimano and diana too! thanks for the help.

Spinning Setup Advice
Thats what I'm thinking, but most of my streams are small, I'm thinking the 6'3" would be short and accurate, but could work for bass too. I do like the idea of trying to find a ml 7'1"

Spinning vs Casting
I totally agree, I just find I fish finesse more, what spinning setup should I add next?
-
Spinning Setup Advice
I find myself using my one spinning setup more often than all five of my casting setups. Because of this, I want to add another spinning combo. I fish in lakes, ponds and small streams for bass and trout. I already have a 7' M XF and 1500 size reel with 20 lb braid and a leader. I fish a lot of drop shots, Ned rigs, split shots, wacky rigs, and keitechs. Looking at a Quantum Smoke inshore 6'3" MLXF and 25 size reel. I am also looking at a 7'1" mh Powell max too. What do you think?

Spinning vs Casting
Thanks! I already have a 7' Medium Tournamnent ZX combo. It works really well for everything. I also have an ultralight ugly stik for live bait. I want to add another rod for trouts, small accurate casts in hard to reach places. I fish the Ned rig dropshot and keitechs the most.

How Many?
Wow, do you fish everyday?

Spinning vs Casting
I have 1 nice spinning setup and 5 nice casting setups. i find myself using the spinning rod more. I live in pa and fish small lakes with lots of pressure. Should i invest in more spinning rods?
