No 2 days are exactly alike. Weather, wind, depth, speed are all factors, water color, and on and on. Most importantly is what the slabs want on any given day whether it be minnows, jigs or something else. Find them then let them make your decisions. I use underspin reels because of the convenience. No messing around opening the bail on a spinning reel. Just my preference. My advice may be crap but it works for me. Good luck.
If we did what was most important in life there would be a shortage of Bibles.................and fishing poles
