I also use flipping reels. A left hand and right hand. That way I can hold both rods if it gets deeper flipping switch, shallower use my knees to crank. Power Pro with mono here as it floats along with the floats on the spinners. 1 1/2 weights mostly. With second person fishing in back 2oz in front and 1 1/2 in back. When bouncing I use transom lss to watch bouncers. My 2 cents
