I'm going bass fishing in N. WI early next month and I'm having a hard time deciding what rod/reel combo to use for a variety of lures.  I have a G. Loomis IMX-PRO 802 C TWR with a Metanium XG or a Shimano Zodias 70 MF with a Curado XG 70.  I'll be throwing small spinner lures and wacky rigs..  What would you choose?

I'd pick the Zodias since it's a fast vs. extra fast.  But either would be fine.  I doubt it would make one fish of a difference, either way.

Probably the Zodias with the Metanium. Also, if that is braid on that Metanium, the toothy critters in WI will probably cut right through it. I would suggest a good leader material.

@FishTank, yes I will be using a leader.  Although I'm bass fishing up there I never know what is going to go after my bait.  I caught my largest musky bass fishing using a #3 mepps bucktail.

I looked at my Zodias and it's actually 72M.  It's the A model not the B.
