Rod and Reel opinions needed
I am looking to buy a new rod and reel for casting 1/16th oz. jigs. I would like the rod to be 6'- 6' 6" long, complete rod not 2 halves and very sensitive. As far as reels go I have always used Shimano reels but am willing to try a different brand. I like a really smooth reel, and I am a fan of the rear drag system but it's not a must have. I am not looking for cheap but the G Loomis I looked at today is out of the question too! With my luck I would spend G Loomis money and then kick it overboard before I get a chance to fish with it! Thanks in advance for your opinions.
Don't take life so seriously, no one lives through it anyhow!!
