Members 6.5BR Posted June 14, 2016 Members Posted June 14, 2016 Plan to use the 1000 for panfish and possibly light bass 2500 more for larger fish i.e. Bass, and similar. Will likely use 6lb mono/flouro and/or 8 or 10lb braid on the 1000 The 2500 will either run 8 mono/fouro and/or around 20lb braid. Thoughts are something around 6 - 6'8 or so in Light or possibly ML with fast tip on the 1000, and more likely ML if not Medium power fast tip for the 2500. Figure the bass need a harder hook set. Never caught Walleye's but that may be in future plans, so not sure how hard a hook set is needed for them. Thoughts/feedback by experienced Spin fisherman appreciated. Any recs on rods, and/or line appreciated. Looking at Avid and Premier line if it matters. Want lightweight and sensitive....as one might imagine which is why I am looking at St. Croix. Thanks in advance.
Gumboot Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 My primary ned rod is an AVS66MLF. Good sensitivity, balances good with 2500 Stradic. You could probably find comparable for less money.
Members 6.5BR Posted June 15, 2016 Author Members Posted June 15, 2016 Do tell how you use it, what type of fish, etc. What line do you use? Comparable - any suggestions? I have handled many spinning rods, and find many lacking, though not a broad cross section of St. Croix at my local BPS. Thanks.
Fish24/7 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 st.croix has a panfish series that would be perfect for the 1000 reel. http://stcroixrods.com/products/freshwater/panfish-series/
Members 6.5BR Posted June 16, 2016 Author Members Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks, if you have used any let me know which models, much appreciated. That 6 foot looks well suited.
