Poulin Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 It is not a mistake, I raise the question here because some of you are probably in the same situation as myself, which is to prefer fly fishing but to sometimes switch to a spinning rod for whatever reason. So which spinning rod should I get if I want to cast lures once in a while ? No bait fishing, nor huge lure, I’d like a rod with a feeling to cast small to midsize lures. The heaviest lures I could think about would be Sluggos. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Stu Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 on the light side, I use the 10' Riversider Steelhead ultralight for schoolies and surf perch on the West Coast. throws up to about 1 oz. and all the fish feel big! Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 For a little cheaper option, look into tsunami carbon shield ii. I have a 7’6” that I really enjoy when I fish the bay areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btpeck14 Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 TFO Tactical Inshore. I have the 704-1 and it's perfect for a change up from the fly rod. https://tforods.com/product/tactical-inshore/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poulin Posted June 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Good suggestions here, but forgot to mention it has to be a travel rod ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDailey Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 LL Bean’s heaviest rated travel rod should fit the bill. 7'6" Rated for 10-20 lb line should throw up to 2 oz. or so if it is anything like the 7’ series it just replaced. $119.00 shipped is a bargain for a travel rod too.

I have one of these. My Penn reel’s foot very hardly fits the rod handle, its like if the opening wasn’t long enough. I have to really force it in. In addition, obviously I compare with a fly rod, but the feeling is so so. This a 2017-2018 model though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tx Fly Tyer Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) I too am in the same boat so to speak, recently purchased a kayak, so I thought a spinning rod would be preferable. I bought a combo from Tackle Direct 7 ft mh 10-20 lb test rating with a Shimano 4000 series reel 169.00. oh the rod is a two-piece, tube is about 38'' long. hope this helps. love this web site for info sharing check into a casting egg, can be used to deliver your fly Edited July 2, 2022 by Tx Fly Tyer add info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
