Default Spinning setup

Ho wmuch do you want to spend? I just recently purchased a medium power St
Criox Avid series spinning rod that I am really impressed with. It has a
fast action instead of a medium action which makes it just about perfect for
lighter line and soft plastic presentations.

I fished it last weekend with a Pflueger supreme 40 series spinning reel and
it worked very well.

Retail at The Sportsman's Hide-A-Way was 89.95 for the rod not on sale, and
I got the Pflueger Supreme on sale a while back from Bass Pro Shops for
39.95. I think regular price is $59.95.

I fished it with 12 lb Seaguar pure fluorocarbon. It worked very very well.
I landed plenty of fish with it. I love it for pitching a wacky rigged
weightless stick worm to the edges of cover. It worked good for tossing
under docks as well.

I definitely prefer the 7' rods for this type of fishing except in very very
close quarters.

Hi guys.

I was thinking of purchasing a nice spinning setup. I usually fish with
just baitcasters, but its easier to skip tubes and flukes with a
spinning reel.

Right now I own one spinning setup. A Shimano Sidestab reel with a 6'6"
Bass Pro Shops med/heavy rod. I also fih with 10-12 lb. line.

Anybody have any advice on a good rig for around $130 or so? I like the
trigger on the spinning reels, and I'm thinking I might want a 7' rod
instead of the 6'6" one I already have.

Thanks a bunch!
