Lure/Rod/Line Selection
Do you think this is an okay list of lures to use with rods?
6'6"MH _____ Finesse Jig - #14 test mono Crankbaits - #10 Mono Jerkbaits - #? Mono? Topwater (treble hooks) - # mono? Lipless Crankbaits - #Mono? Swimbaits - #Mono? 7'0"H ____ Jig - #50 Braid Frogs - #50 Braid Buzzbait - #50 Braid Both ____ Spinnerbait - #14 mono Worms - #14 mono or braid I also have a 6'6" MH, but I try to stay away from it as much as possible because I don't really like spinning rods or reels. I know they come in handy sometimes. Since I have a few different line selections, (#14, 10, 50) could I use my spinning rod for crankbaits for now while I don't have another rod to spool up with different line? When to use fluoro and fireline? Thanks all |

Looks like a good setup to me. I use fluoro for weightless worms and finesse jigs as well as a leader on the C-rig. I don't use Fireline at all-I use braid. And yes, your spinning rod will work for cranks-I use one for small cranks that are too light to throw on a baitcaster.

Joolz,
I use 12 lb mono for anything with a treble hook to help keep from ripping the hooks out of the fishes mouth. I have 50 lb. Power Pro on my new flippin stick. I will probably stick with Fireline on my worm rod unless I can find a Flouro line that I like. I will stick with Fireline for my spinner/buzzbait rod. At the end of the day the only thing that's going to matter is if the combinations you currently have work for you. If not than start experimenting.

Thanks. I currently have #12 mono on my 6'6" caster. I haven't tried any heavier mono, but I can say I like #12 so far.
