I hope this topic is in the right place if it is not I'm sorry please move it.

I have a 7' Shimano FX S-7 70MB2 medium but has a very limber tip and I am using a guide series POS spinning reel.... I would like to know what ya'll would put on the rod and reel combo so that is will fish right. I had a spinnerbait on it and it worked great, I tried a worm but I couldn't get a good hook set so I took the worm to another rod/reel set-up and had great hook-ups. If you an add a bait to go along with this wacky combo I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Again I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong area. 8-)

Anything with an open hook. (spinnerbait, crankbait, spook, chatterbait)

If you do try worms, such as a split shot rig or shaky rig, use a light wire hook instead of some brute.  That will help.
