After receiving my latest purchase, a Spinning 6'9 Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 Medium Light/Fast, I have a dilemma as far line.

 

I'm assuming I should only be throwing weightless senkos, ned rig and wacky rigged worms with this?

 

I can throw lures from 1/8-1/2  with line of 6-10#'s.

 

I have 6# mono, 10# mono, 12# fluoro, 15# braid & 30# braid.

 

Any help?! 

15 lb. braid sounds like your winner ...

Okay, perfect. Are you recommending a braid to the 6# mono? 

I, too, would use the braid. I'd put a leader of 10lb fluoro on it but that's the beauty of braid as a main line; you can put whatever lb leader you want on it for different applications. Very versitile.

Just put on some 15# PowerPro with 6# Sufix. I'm excited to see what I can do with this!

 

What else can I throw other than weightless/wacky senkos and the ned rig with this rod? 

15 lb braid and you are not limited to those lures. You can throw anything as long as it isnt too heavy like over .6 oz

Throw plastics, spinnerbaits, crankbaits anything u want

15lb braid with a 6# leader and your set. My exact finesse setup

you'll be able to launch that Senko for days. It weighs 3/8 oz, right in that rod's sweet spot.

don't know what happened there, but that setup is perfect for any weightless plastic, double fluke rigs, dropshotting, shakey heads, finesse jigs, smaller jerkbaits, smaller cranks, small spinnerbaits, spybaits, really anything finesse oriented.

Came back in to say this^^^

Absolutely. Very similar specs to the main combo I use for many of those things, especially weightless plastics, shakey heads, and mojo/split-shot rigs.

Thanks everybody. 

 

Would a carolina rig be alright with this rod? I ended up putting on 15# PowerPro with a 6# Mono leader....

no, a Carolina rig requires a heavy rod, preferably longer to take up as much slack as possible before making a sweeping hookset through a 1 oz sinker and 3-6 ft of leader. You can throw mojos, which is sort of a finesse carolina rig, but its not the same thing.

Carolina: Meh. No big loss. You'd probably get more out of a mojo/finesse carolina/split-shot rig anyway.

If by Carolina rig you mean split shot rig, then yes.

C-Rigging does not require a heavy weight. You could go with a 1/4 oz weight on your rig without any problem. You will have to slow down to keep contact with the bottom though.

You are right.  I guess I'm speaking more from my own experience.  To me, c-rig and ML spinning rod don't go together.

I agree with you. Most of the time when I C- rig it is with a baitcaster and a 7'2" heavy rod, with at least a 3/4 ounce weight. In crystal clear water (think Bull Shoals) a spinning outfit has saved the day a few times.

i much prefer a mojo rig to a heavy carolina rig anyday !!!!

 

i use a 1/8 tungsten mojo weight .
