I just purchased a 7'10" St. Croix Legend Bass spinning rod and hoped to use it to bomb keitechs on open flats in the Great Lakes. They say the use is "Swimming Baits," but I think it might be better used for a spy bait rod. What are your uses for this rod? 

 

Rod Code- LBTS710MMF

Great for spybaits if you use FC, 7'10 starts to get long when you have to drop the tip to bottom trace with braid.

Hair jigs

Shad raps

Tail spinners

Grubs/small swimbaits at distance

As above, but i would also throw any treble hook lure under 1/2 oz.

That would be a great rod to throw Mepps spinners too. I use the Mepps Black Fury in various sizes all the time as well as the Gold and Orange Aglia. They slay fish. 

 

That rod would be great for using the #4 or 5 size on spinning gear
