New Toys

They're here!! Got my new rods today, they sure look good! They even come in their own rod bags like my fly rods do. Can't wait to get out on the water...but rain is forecasted for a couple of days. I need to spool my new KastKing reel anyway, and pick a reel for the other rod.

ive got those same rods you won't be dissapointed. on the 7,6 i use 6lbs, sos. that line in my experience builds up a lot less memory than some others do. any spinning reel is gonna have some unless you use braid. for the jig pole i wouldn't put a spinning reel on the back it effects the balance too much for me. i prefer the b&m crappie reels all you need is a line holder but id do prefer the ones that have a drag on them as opposed to one with just an anti-reverse switch. for the jig pole nothing will beat the sensitivity of braid but i wouldn't go over 10lbs and use a fluro or mono leader. my 2 cents

Sounds like they are going to be keepers! I'm not familiar with "sos" line, although I have had "sos" for breakfast many times while in the ARMY in the early 70s...LOL. What braid are you using? And which reel? I might try that combination to start with. Thanks!
