Spinning Shallow Spools....?
Won't use mine before a month or so so looking on reading your feedback !

7’ Frog rod <=$150
I just bought a Shimano SLX for 99CAD. Its a 7'2" h/f and I mostly fish from a kayak
-
Using heavy line on my rod?
Im using Line rate to chose Line. Keep in mind that 20# is the mono line diameter, a braid line same size Will be Much Stronger than that !

How much do you spend on your reel vs your rod
Feel the same here. I drive a sub-compact and can fit 7'11" rods in it. People tend to suggest spending more on reels usually do so regarding baitcasters btw... But its not as true today as it once was !

What is your favourite reel in your arsenal
I loved my Shimano Sahara 2500FE but I might just have a new crush on Piscifun Carbon X. I love my Citica 200e too.

How many rods is too many?
I have a flushmount holder facing forward on my right side for that job. I can carry 9 in my truck's ceiling rack and 7 on the yak but i own like 20-25 including a few flyfishing setup and a couple of trout rods...

Reel ratios, best uses for each
A lower ratio is usually advised for deep diver crankbaits. You could also use it to force you to slow down if you, like I am, are unable to slow down your motion on your own.

Abu Garcia Villain vs Fenwick Aetos
BPS likely have them as well !

Abu Garcia Villain vs Fenwick Aetos
I own a 7' MF spinning and 7' MHF spinning and casting. Use the spinnings for tubes and the casting for lighter bottom bouncing lures (under 1/2) The spinnings are definitely fishing lighter than St. Croix Mojo equivalent. They are lighter and more sensitive but slightly more expensive. Cabelas in Ottawa use to Carry most Aetos line-up
-
Left or right?
Right handed, cast with both depending on how I cast. Reel righty both spinning and casting... Now that I've just been diagnosed as a psycho, I'll go see a doc ?

About to buy myself a frog and jig setup
Im looking at either the KK Speed Demon Pro 7'2" frog Rod (if they can stop taking Canadian customers for 3rd world customers) or Shimano SLX 7'2" HF rod for the same purpose

THE KASTKING THREAD
7'4" is too long, 7'3" fits barely 7'2" would be ideal
-
THE KASTKING THREAD

THE KASTKING THREAD
@Brewp13 Amazon.com Kastking won't ship to any of the Canadian addresses I tried (and not remote addresses)
-
THE KASTKING THREAD
They are 145 CAD on Ebay so yes 185 is too much ...

MH/F as go-to rod but for St.C would that be M/F?
I plan on carrying two 2-pieces rods in my sub-compact car trunk. One Will be a 7' m/f spinning and the other one a 6'6" mh/f casting. Both will likely be Fenwick which are close to their power rating Usually I feel these two cover most of bass fishing needs out there. Would I have to select only one I'd go with a m/f
