Hey fellas, 

 

I won an AG Revo S spinning reel from the Cabela's Collegiate Bass Fishing Series Open this past weekend and I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm not too fond of spinning setups and prefer BCs. I already have a St. Croix Rage 6'8" MXF for shaky heads, dropshot, and worms (mostly senkos). I feel like that's about the only spinning setup I need... Do any of you guys have more than one spinning setup that aren't spinning fanatics? To be clear--I don't necessarily want advice from people that mostly use spinning reels, but rather from people than own both or prefer BCs; my apologies if that rubs anyone in the wrong way. 

 

I'm sponsored by St. Croix, so I will be buying a St. Croix regardless... but action, size, length, and what you use it for would be awesome.

 

Thanks, 

 

Sam 

I have two spinning setups. One for weightless plastics and shakyhead, one for dropshots. I like the former to be a bit stiffer than the dropshot.

Thanks for your advice. Seems like that May be the anwer to my question

I use mostly baitcasters but I've got a few spinning setups. I'd recommend a technique specific rod for drop shotting. Personally I think it's better to have a little less backbone in a DS rod vs an all around finesse rod like tywithay said. If I were you I'd grab a LTB drop shot rod. I think you'll be pleased.

I carry 2 spinning setups with me

 

1 - 7'M for Drop Shot, Mojo Rig

2 - 6'6"M for weightless plastics (wacky senko)

 

the latter is my "follow up" rod.  If I miss a bite on a spook or something like that I tend to try and follow it up with the senko.  My #2

Also better for skipping docks IMO.  A little more accurate.
