6.5 foot Lightening Rod by Berkley with Medium-Light action combined with an open faced spinning reel and 6 or 8 lb Berkley Sensation line for use with plastic worms....either weightless and Texposed or with as little weight as possible.

he is write use as little weight as passible. A 1/16 or 1/32 bullet weight will do.

I prefer to use the rod & reel that I already have. ;D It don't seem to matter in my opinion, but the rod I like to use is a 6'6" MH rod.I like 12lb-17 lb test but alot of people use lighter. I fish weeds therefore I use heavier line.I have got to get back to the basic of regular worming more, I have only been using 10'"-12" worms which catch alot of regular size bass, I just think no one around my area uses a worm much anymore.They favor tube baits and senkos.

6'6" med. hvy, baitcasting 15lb lo-vis green 3/16 oz sinker pegged. I like to fish the weeds, rushes, and cattails also and the 15 lb High Impact Stren works great.

[bassmaster111]

do some of you prefer baitcasting or a spinning reel?

There is no "best" rod, reel, line, lure, or anything else. Everyone has their favorites, as can be seen from the variety of responses. I personally use a 6'6" spinning rod, medium power, with 10# mono or 14# Fireline.

Well I think that there is a best rod, reel, line lure....
The trick is not the "what rod", it's the "why this rod".
Look at it like this.

Nothing wrong with this either but note what P-N-J wrote that I highlighted.
Different conditions will dictate the better thing to use.

I use a 6'6 m/h bc combo with 14 lb test cajun red lightlin,i do like this line,a 4.0 gamagatsu and a senko preferably black or purple 5"

6-6 MH AllStar WR1 rod, BPS Exreme reel and 50lb PowerPro braid.

as IL said, nothing wrong with either setup-use what works for you.

[Infisherman1]

I use a 6'6" BPS Extreme combo. Any 6'6' MH rod is good though as long as it can detect the bites. I used a M action rod fro a while and it was fine.

Yeah all you sissy boys get outa here. Iuse 20-30lb Fireline(fused), or 30-50lb Powerpro(braid). I use a St Croix MH 6'6" rod.

As everyone has stated. It's what rig your using, and WHERE you are fishing. If say I was drop shotting in 20feet of water with NO cover, heck 6lb test with ML spinning gear is fine(for sissy's anyway
) But if I'm pitching a Lizard into a Beaver's House, I want some serious equipment. I tend to fish the heaviest cover I can get too, which most folks run from Use the right set up that is needed.

Lizards

[bearpaw]

A 7' All-Star MH.
For a reel I use a Quantum PT Energy Series with a 6:1 retrieve.
Note: I use the reels that costs 160$-200$
(not the KVD series -100$)
17 lb Stren Fluocarbon line.
Low stretch invisible line thats got the power to pull big bass from nasty places.

[bassmaster1983]

I've used spinning, spooled with magna flex line. Spinning will get you longer distance with lighter worms. This year I am going to use a bait-caster. Been practicing in the snow. Tried pitching yesterday. Ouch...nothing but birds nests..Oh well with this new storm I guess I won't be out till the end of march anyway. Heavier worms like senkos and tiki bamboo stix are not to hard for a beginner with baitcasters. So it will be both for me.
