Now that I think about it...
I DON'T HAVE A TEXAS-RIG ROD!
So, instead of buying a Spoon Rod, which I will only be using at certain times, I will be getting a Texas-Rig rod. Most likely casting, with a higher speed reel, 6.0:1 and up. I was thinking somewhere around a MH, as most of my work will be 1/4 ounce and up. For the reel I was thinking of my good old Pflueger Supreme. She's a good, smooth reel with a hasty 6.3:1 rate of retrieve. What lines do most of you use for your normal Texas-Rigging applications? -Lunk-

I either use 17lb or 20lb mono when shallow and 15 or 17 when a little deeper.

Lunk, if you go with a 6-6 or 7' MH action rod you will be fine. I use 2 MH action Falcon Low Riders. One spooled with braid for cover and one spooled with fluoro for smaller worms/open water.
I also have the same rod, 6-6 MH, as a "multipurpose" rod. I throw tailspinners, chatterbaits, spoons, whatever I don't have a dedicated rod for on it.
