I've built most of my spinning rods for throwing plastic, but they are light compared to what most use and I've rarely lost large due to the rod or terminal tackle. I alwyas have a conventional Abu 7000 set-up with an ugly stick, but I don't know why; I rarely use the damn thing. I use 30# powerpro on Stratic 5000's primarily and 4000's for early schoolies and albies later, spro swivel and either 20#, 30# or 40# seagar leader depending on method and target species.
I love the shimano med-light butterfly spinning rods, they are one of the most versatile, light and powerful rods I've used and I have two on board for my drifting and jigging. I like them for drifting for fluke, sea bass or stripers and they are fun once you get on a good fish, but even a 2 lb sea bass you can feel.
Most of my fishing involves my own Ledge Runner Baits and Kalin Ulimate jig heads or bucktails tipped for sea bass or fluke.
