Some folks will switch the spool on a 1000 size spinning for a 2500 spool.
More diameter for the light stuff. Easier to cast and more distance. BFS is with bait casters not spinning reels

Only reason I have a setup is it was part of a package deal when I was buying a few other rods. Intended to sell it but its actually fun to play with on occasion

Not sure why we'd rule out BFS. My Curado BFS casts 1/8oz as far as you'd ever need to extremely consistently.

I use a Tatula Elite for light weight lures for bass. No need to use spinning gear except if you are throwing crappie jigs.

Either fishing the bottom. Catfish. Or slow floating a plastic bait. Into a hunter group of stripes. I can still outcast you using spinning. Verses a baitcaster. It's all in the tuning.

So I bought a JDM Shimano 22 Metanium Shallow Edition, gonna tune it, and see how good it will cast some lightweight lures.
