Im joining a club as a co-angler next year so I’m looking to add two new setups. I currently bank & backseat fish with these two:
7’ MH XF casting - this is just my all purpose throw everything rod
7’2” M XF spinning - mostly dropshot / wacky when on a boat
Im in NJ so we fishing highly pressured waters. A good majority of the club fish are caught on finesse. Most things I’ve read only recommend 1 spinning setup but because of that Im thinking going 2/2.
Currently considering:
- 7’ medium spinning setup - Shaky / Ned / Wacky rig. This will allow my to keep my current spinning setup 100% dropshot. This can also multipurpose for jerk bait and small topwater if needed.
- 7' M M casting - Crankbaits / RatLTraps / Topwater
OR
- 7’6” H F casting - Jig / Flipping / Frog.
My existing MH casting setup would then cover everything else. T-rig, spinners, smaller jigs, etc.
Any thoughts, advice or general co-angler tips would be appreciated!
