What Is Your Spinnerbait Setup ?

Featured Replies

Now I know there are alot of articles on this site recommending the right rod , line and reel , but I would like to know you guys personel setup.

My spinnerbait rod is an Abu Garcia 7ft mh with a fast action tip , paired up with a lews speed spool with 20# vicious fluorocarbon.

So what's your spinnerbait setup ?

As of right now I use an abu garcia black max rod and reel in 6'6" M action. I like the shorter rod for them as I can place the spinnerbait right where I want it. I might step it up to a 6'9" veritas rod really soon though.

6'8 MH/fast cumara with a patriarch XT with 10# suffix elite.

I am using a St. Croix Mojo MH/Mod and it seems to be working well. I may purchase a Mojo MH/F though in the future.

If I'm target fishing (docks, stumps, etc.) I use a 6'6" MH paired to a 6.3:1 reel. If I'm slow rolling deep structure/cover, it's a 7'6" split grip in MH with the same reel The only other difference is the line. 15lb. Stren High Impact on the first set-up and 30lb. SpiderWiire Stealth on the second. BTW, I fish from a boat and that impacts my choice a lot. If you're a shore fisherman, chances are you're looking for distance and a longer rod makes a big difference.

I have several rod/reels that I throw a spinnerbait on.

For general use and burning, a LTBC70MF and Zillion 7.1:1. Close target, sniper style an AVC62MXF and Alphas. General use, and probably my favorite, AVC68MXF and Alphas. For really heavy baits or deep stroking, an AVC70MHF and TD-X. Line is generally 10-15 lb. P-Line CXX.

Same as Francho's first rod, the Teaser.

Using a STX-L though w/ 12lb fluoro or YZ

6'6" MH/F Shimano Compre (full cork handle model) with a Curado E7 and 14 pound Trilene Sensations line. This rod is primarily my jig and plastics rod but it works well for spinnerbaits also.

Powel max 6.8 mh Curado 50e 12 lb Big game. Daiwa L&T 7 mh Curado 200 Dvhs 7:1, PP 65 lb.

6'3" St Croix Avid with a 30 size Pflueger medalist and 10 lb. P-line CX

7' Steez SVF MH Fast, Steez 100 with 50lb braid

Lamiglas XL704C M/F Qantum Catalyst 6.3:1 14# Sunline Supernatural Mono.

Dobyns Champion 734C 7’3″ 10-20lb, 1/4-1oz - Heavy, Fast.

Shimano Chronarch 101D7

10-12# Yo-Zuri Hybrid Clear

Just bought the rod for a dedicated SB combo we'll see how it goes. I fish mostly open water and heavy grass, should be great for casting and covering a lot of water, and pulling through grass, plus deep running heavier SBs on ledges, etc.

Dobyns Champ 733C

Zillion 6.3:1

P-line CXX 12#

I usually throw 3/8oz and 1/2oz spinnerbaits in relatively open water and find this setup to be just about perfect.

7' Medium Heavy Crankin Stick, and mono anywhere from 10 pound to 17 pound, and a slow ratio baitcast reel, either a Curado or BPS PQ.

I will use my 7' M power, fast action St Croix LTB with a Curado 51E for 3/16-1/4 oz baits, and my 7' MH/fast LTB, also with a curado 51E for 3/8's-3/4 oz baits.
