Thread: Found my combo

I spent another couple hours in the driveway today.
This time I was casting a .7g size 14 hook spinner on various combos and 2# Floroclear.
I have added a tiny swivel about 10-12” above the spinner and use a wire clip , so I can change lures easily.
My averages distance today was only 38-45’ .
What surprised me was the combos that cast the 45’ .
Some of the combos were , a 5’ Daiwa Trout X XUL rod paired with a Shimano 500 Nasci 500 , a 4’6” Daiwa Trout X XUL paired with a Daiwa Fuego LT 1000 , and a 4’6” St Croix (old series) Panfish paired with a Daiwa Fuego LT 1000.
The short rods outcast the 5’6” and 6’ rods I tried . At least by a yard .
Three feet could make a difference in getting bit .
These will make great rods for fishing out of the boat , especially for their accuracy.
Make good creek rods too.

Haha ! I have a long driveway and my lot is wooded .
I’d cast in grass if I had an area big enough without tree limbs in the way .

BTW , the Panfish rod is a 4’10” not a 4’6” . And it’s an UL fast action .
