I guess I shouldn’t have been so pushy on the 2 rod thing. I just meant as far as changing one of the two reels. My arsenal will remain at 4 rods as of right now, those are just my expensive set ups. I plan to keep my little M spinning set up around as well as the Xfinity (7.5:1) on the 7’H. May I ask what you’d throw on each of the set ups? Spinning, my apologies!

Hey guys, so I recently purchased two brand new Lews tournament pro reels from academy. I accidentally picked up both in a 7.5:1 gear ratio. It’s no huge deal as academy has a 60 day money back. I was just looking for some opinions on which gear ratio I should take it back in exchange for, the 6.8:1 or 8.3:1. I (by far) fish soft plastics the most often. I normally do fine with my 7.5:1 running 50lb braid but I figure if I’m going to have 3 reels now I definitely don’t need all three on the same ratio. I was just looking for suggestions as to what kind of set up y’all may try for instead. I’d say I fish either jigs or swim baits second most. Also im totally open for suggestions on broadening my approaches. I’m in the Arkansas River valley located near lake Dardanelle. I usually fish weedy areas off the bank but recently purchased a kayak and a flat bottom! If time efficient I’d like a couple benefits on both ratios. I currently have my pair of Lews TP’s running 7.5 and also a Lews xfinity rolling 7.5. The TP’s are both on a 6’6 MH Fast action rod with the xfinity on a 7’MH fast. Also have a Lews spincast medium setup. Any intel would be awesome (except about how dumb I am for having 3 poles set up the same lol

Last years catch was on a green pumpkin 12” Mag Ol’ worm. The haul from yesterday was actually caught on a little zoom Finesse work in green pumpkin magic! The fish were hammering that little sucker. One worm caught me 3 fish including that one!

I’m just curious is you guy’s could tell me which species these lil dinks are. Neon shirt was caught around last June the kayak fish caught yesterday, 5-13-2020 Last years haul
