Great job in explaining the difference of the 2 set ups . I still prefer the spinning reel . The looks great .
Hi Pat, I know this is a saltwater community, I use Ned rigging for smallmouth bass in Susquehanna River in PA. Would this spinning setup you mentioned be good for Ned rigging in freshwater rivers as well?
Excellent Pat, thx!
Thanks Mike! Hope it helps.
Thanks Pat. I’m tempted to get that slam stick in bait casting.
We don’t have any casting models yet but maybe someday. Been looking forward to that.
Great info.
Thanks Cedric!
SLAM STIC, Hmm, haven’t been paying attention, Thanks
The Medium power has been out for maybe six months and the ML just came out. They’ve been pretty impressive so far.
You dialed in on the excellent rigging thank you so much
Thank you Michael!
