spinning gear

 

6.9 ML XF Avid with a Shimano Ci4FA been using this for texas rigged worm 10lb mono

 

I am not sure if i have the right reels on the rite rods or if it even really matters. But i am interested in suggestions for whats the best brand line to put on them and LB. And what lures should i rig them with obejectivly i want a (cranker rod) (jig rod) (top water rod/ heavy cranker) (jerk bait rod) and (Frog pole) Then my finesse rod will be my spinning rod..

 

I am open to all suggestions max cost for new combo $600.00.  Thanks Jeramy

I think you need to have a 7' MH/F in that line-up, the most often used rod I have.   I have, and carry, 6 in that length/action.    lol

I agree with bassman. I have two 7' MH/F i use as a jig rod, and a worm rod.

Sorry i guys i made a typo the 7.1 rods are both MH Fast action. If it was you what line and how would you rig them?

Both of mine have 14# mono on them. Like I said I use mine as a worm/jig rod. I also have another MH/F I use for spinnerbaits/buzzbaits/frogs/chatterbaits etc.

You should be using the revo rocket for punching or pitching. The mh should be for jigs and weighted Texas rigs.

Use the ml spinning for dropshot and shake heads

My 7' MH/F's are mostly rigged with 17lb flouro (my brand is not important  lol) and serve as my jig/T-rig/bladebait/lipless crank/spoon/bubba-shot/spinnerbait/spider grub/swim jig/hard swimbait rods.   I do have one rigged up with 50 braid and that is my chatterbait rod.

What do you guys think about my mix of reals as far as gear ratio am I on track what should I my nest purchase be? 5.1 6.1 7.1 or another 9.1?

f anyone else has recommendations by all means speak up.. I'm always open to suggestions don't take offense to responses I may get. I know I'm green around the edges and eager to learn. Some day will have enough knowledge to contribute advice to the community as well. Thanks Jeramy

7' M - Lipless/Squarebill

I agree. It may just be my personal preference, but I like a Med. power /  Med. fast rod for squarebills, and shallow to medium depth crankbaits.
