Hey you guys.

So i own:

1 spinning combo with MH 6'6'' rod

1 spinning combo with M 7' rod

1 baitcast combo with M 6'6'' rod

1 baitcast combo with M 6' rod

and a spare 6'6'' H rod

and i am in a little dilemma. For as long as i can remember, i've used these setups randomly. One day i tie on a 5/8 ounce jig on my spinning combo, and the next i tie on a 1/16 ounce spinner bait. Basically, i haven't yet specialized my rods and reels to any specific task. I've only gotten as far as to label my 6'6'' H baitcast rod as my flipping/frog rod for obvious reasons.

I just want some recommendations about which combos i should use in which situations.

Thanks a bunch!

help will be much appreciated  ;D

For 7' M spinning rod i would do a finesse, like shaky head with 6-10lb fluorocarbon, depending on where you'll fish it. And the 6' 6" M baitcast combo i would use 10-12lb mono and use it for a crankin' rod.  And for spinning 6' 6" mh, i have the same setup and i use that to wacky worm, with 6lb fluorocarbon.

Give the six footer a go for topwater and jerkbaits, basicallly any tip-down presentation.

Not knowing the actions of your rods make it difficult to give you an opnion.

For me too spinning gear means finesse; dropshot, small wacky, shakyhead and so, I don't own any heavier than M.

Short rods ( 6.0 ) I use for techniques that require the tip to be at water level,  jerkbaits, like has been said or high accuracy, skipping.

Hope its help

for anything under 3/8oz i use spinning gear. except for spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and cranks.

It may also help to know the brand of rod. Some companies power rating may be different than others. I have a Medium-Heavy that feels like a Heavy. I also have a rod that is Medium-Heavy and feels like a Medium.  ;D
