Powerbait, i bring out my Pflueger president and Daiwa silvercast from time to time as well strung up with 2lb pLine fluoroclear and they are a blast to use chasing sunfish and small carps.

I have some trigger spins set up for the wife to use. I grab one up every once in a while. Nothing better when a fella is targeting bream in my opinion

I have a couple of Zebco Omega Pro Z2’s for when I get frustrated with my BFS baitcasters . But at 9.5oz , they’re a little heavy , but are a smooth reel .

Wife hooked a bridge piling one night. Set the hook hard, rod bent, drag on the little reel screaming as she cranked that handle at a heart pumping pace. The men on the other end of the bridge were off their respective rocks , on their feet cheering her on. I walked behind her and told her she was hooked on the bridge. She put some slack in the line, the glow float popped up to the surface and floated free. You could hear the air leave those two fellas as they said awe it broke off. The legend still persist of that auburn haired woman that lost a world record crappie late one cold night at that North Alabama creek of mud.

That is a good story, DSJ!

She put on a show. She also caught her first crappie that night. A very solid 14" fish that was thick

Mrs. Gunwhatgun uses spincast stuff. We both use it when we are catfishing at the campground. I just finished her a custom ultralight casting rod with a Daiwa minincast reel. It is Sweet! I am also a big fan of trigger spin rigs to. They are great to have when extra fishermen show up, or teaching little ones the basics and getting them ready for a spinning rig.

Being a dock shooter I am a little ashamed that I have not at least given a trigger spin a try. As I have been told they work very well shooting docks.
