Thanks guys , yes spinning , I kicked my best spinning rig overboard last year helping my boy land a fish as he had lost several at the boat and was getting downtrodden. So I’ve been using some of my lesser ones , bought a Stratic reel yesterday but haven’t decided on a rod , all my other rods are g loomis E6X , st croix or Powell on my baitcasters , I had not concidered a shimano rod as i never considered them a serious rod contender . I fish Smith a lot so shakey head gets thrown a good bit and I miss my good rig .
Stop by Simmons sometime and I'll get you set up. The exprides are as good as any Loomis i ever owned
