Super Dave and other accomplished anglers form an opinion and then set it in stone with unintended confirmation bias. It amuses me to see the sacred cows trotted out over and over. Dave rightly points out that Nanofil can have issues on windy days, but there are ways to deal with wind and braid/Nanofil. I will state without reservation that Nanofil gives me more advantages than any other line I have ever used and puts thousands of fish in my boat annually. Dave is all in with fluorocarbon on spinning. Fluoro on spinning has its own issues. Expense, line twist, and the weight of the line on small lures. I'm assuming it has pluses to offset the negatives and I bought a largish spool of 6 lb Fluoro and a large arbor spinning reel to experiment with myself and see if I can find a spot for it. FTR: I like the yellow more when it is cloudy and the White more when it is sunny, but I'm good with either whenever too. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

And mine doesn't look like a dog lead in the water. ?

Royal Blue Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 If you already like the Lew's rods, I'd try the Speed Stick that they made for the Ned rig. I have one, and it's one of my favorite rods. I think mine's 7ft ML and they're $99 pretty much anywhere.

Sub 200$ would be best, 150$ would be better. Thanks for the advice! i just purchased a new NED setup, Rod- Daiwa Laguna 7ft ML academy $29.99 Reel- Pflueger President XT Bass pro-$79.99, Seaguar invisix 6lb dtrs5kprs 1

Will probably pick one up. Thanks for the tip. dtrs5kprs 1

Just err large on the reel. Need a big spool to maximize the benefits of the FC. Bigger than the regular "bass" 25/2500 size everyone likes to run.
