Best spinnerbait combo? under $400 1/4-3/4 oz. considering a Quantum smoke PT and 7' mh fast action mojo, but want to make sure im getting the best bang for my buck.

Best spinnerbait combo?

Best? That's entirely subjective. I could throw out a Calais 200DC and a Steez Flexlite, it'll only cost you about $1100 to decide whether or not you like it. Some people will hate it, some will just like it, some will love it. On the other hand I could throw a blade on a Cumara CUCX69MH with a Chronarch or a Curado and get the same results. It's all about what you want to spend.

"Best spinner bait combo" is far too general to answer effectively.

Depends a lot on the spinnerbait too. I'm not going to use the same rod to fish a 1/4oz spinnerbait in tight quarters around standing timber as I would if I was making long casts with a 1oz bait along a point or flat. If I had to pick an all purpose spinnerbait rod it would probably be a 6' 6" MH fast action rod with a 6.3:1 gear ratio loaded with 15 or 17 pound test.

Best of anything is subjective at best.

This is his 4th post. Okay SK, you will obtain a more defined response if your question is more defined. That's just a tip for you in future posts. Consider a 6-6 to 7 foot medium heavy action with a fast tip and a quality baitcaster in six point something to one gear ratio. Manufacture options are endless. Welcome to the forum !!

Medium heavy fast action rod, 14-20lb test mono, and a high speed baitcaster.

I use a 6'9'' MH XFast rod with a 7:1 curado and 17lb flourocarbon or 30lb braid.

7'MH Avid, Citica 200e, 14lb floroclear....handles a goose on a trap nicely.
