[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 202779, member: 1776"] Thanks Brine and Jeff. I have a MH rod that I really like (one of my all time favorites) and will spool it up with some 20lb braid and maybe a floro leader for the clear waters I like to fish.. As slow as fishing was that day (only 3 fish landed), once I switched to the jig, I was getting bit pretty good. I suppose once you feel the fish, you just set the hook? Guessing here, I never fished a jig before. I was casting almost on shore by structure and hopping it back to the boat. I'd feel a tap, then pressure and I'd set the hook as good as I could with the light equipment I had. Edit: If I could find a decent baitcaster combo for a reasonable price, I might get one, but I don't know what to look for and how to tell if it would work for me. Spinning rods and reels, I can pickout what I know works and what I like. The others, I might as well be a kid in a candy store... it all looks good. [/QUOTE]
