Bassmann86 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Check out the new Zillion SV TW 1000H on digitaka they are $326.24. If you sign up for an account at digitaka you get 2000 point which is roughly $10ish off and they ship fast to the US via FedEx. I was very impressed with the one I have. 1/4oz T-rig into the wind getting close to 40 yards or so. carsonp860 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been experimenting with this lately, I think theyre really fun to fish but the spinning gear isnt stiff enough for me. I go to twitch the bait and half the blank loads. i guess its a sign i gotta find a stronger rod or ease up a little bit, but spinning gear is awesome for the small baits for sure browniez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run a E6X 7’1” MH. Braid also helps a lot. Once the line stretch is eliminated you can get away with more. IMO the medium action on a spinning rod is usually alot deeper taper than a Medium on a casting rod. See what a MH does for it. Randy Blaukat is pretty much The Godfather of American jerkbait fishing and he only fishes spin on them. I was a hardcore big jerkbait for big trout nerd before I found the swimbait a few years back.

Bakerlounge Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 I like the Curado 70 or the SLX 70, both are great depending on what you want to spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the old model and with 12 lb flouro it bombs. New one should be awesome. Great reels. I've got 3 on Zodias rods and one's a 6'10" medium that's a designated JB slinger.
