New Spinning Setup - 07/18/09 08:21 PM
Currently, I'm using a spinning setup that would make most serious anglers (and myself, sometimes) question my decision making, so it's time to upgrade/adjust.
I'm looking for a spinning setup that I will be using primarily for Topwater, Spinners, Crankbaits, and anything that isn't a plastic or a jig.
I have a Cabelas Prodigy Casting reel on a Shakespeare UglyStik Lite (Medium Heavy, 6'6") that i use for plastics and jigs.
Id like something with a fast retrieve rate, and a rod with medium to heavy action so i can get nice loud pops and splashes with my topwater, and still get good rattles from a Ratl Trap. Id like something medium in size, so i can still toss lighter lures and baits, but still be able to handle that 12lb'er im gonna catch someday.
Should I even get a spinning setup, or should just get another baitcaster? or do i need to get two new setups?
