Regarding... Rods - "power" and "Action" Defind

Featured Replies

Road Warrior wrote a great answer and discriptiion to a long frustrating task.

My question to him or all is... whats the ideal gear ratio's for the below said rods, for their specific techniques?

Below was wrote by roadwarrior:

For technique specific applications:

Light fishing: 6 1/2' ML/F spinning

Soft plastics: 7' M/F spinning

Crankbaits, jerkbaits and topwater: 7' M or MH/M baitcasting

Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits: 7' M or MH/F  baitcasting

Jigs, C-rigs and heavy and/or deep running lures: 7' H/F baitcasting

And to break it down just a little further, I fish a Heavy Power/ Slow Action glass rod for big, treble hook lures.

Below is my current set up for 5 rods + Swimbait rod

All Shimano - All Casting

CRC - XST711 MH (XF) - Curado 300DSV 6.2:1 = Swimbaits

CRC - X76 MH (XF) - Curado 200DHSV 7.0:1 = Flippin,Pitchin,Plastics

CRC - 7MH (MF) - Calcutta 200B 6.0:1 =  Crank Baits,Top water,Jerk

CRC - 7ML (F) - Citica 200D 6.2:1 = Sm Crank Baits

CRC - 7M (F) - Curado 200DPV 5.0:1 = Drop Shot,Plastics

CRC - 7H (XF) - Curado 200DPV 5.0:1 = Spinner Baits

Consider Southern California Fishin conditions.
