Ok so I have a bunch of spinnerbaits and Boogee baits, and i was wondering what Rod, reel and line would be best to use?? I have a couple of extra rod and reels that I could use but I'm wondering what would be best? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For spinnerbaits that are 1/4oz or less, a 7ft Med. action rod would suffice. Heavier than that, I'd go with a Med. Hvy. As for line, it depends on the cover that you'll be fishing. For most of our local lakes, you should be fine with 12-14lb. test Fluoro or mono. I would not recommend going with anything less than 10lb. test, though. For reels, a lot of people I know prefer reels that has a slower gear ratio like 5:1. I prefer one that has 6:1 gear ratio because I find it easier to slow down than it is to speed up.

Ya I was leaning towards 7ftmh rod and a 5:4:1 reel loaded up with 12lb mono. Thanks Socal
