Hello friends, I am looking for blank suggestions for throwing 3/8 oz wiggle warts on a casting reel. I'm thinking this is probably on the light end of using a baitcaster, but I wanted to hear your opinions. I will be using it from a boat and trying to get the bait as deep as I can. Thanks in advance, Brian

Hello, I’m looking for recommendations to build a spinning setup for 1/8-1/4 oz in line spinners like Mepps for smallmouth. It would be used for wading in a small river with very few casting obstructions. Most of the smallmouth would be under a pound with a three pounder being the largest I would come across. Price tag isn’t a problem, I’m looking for a rod to last a long time. Thank you
