Pauleye · 03-07-2011, 10:51 PM

I want to try butterfly jigging for bass and blues. I bought a Trevala spinning rod. I have a USA made Penn Slammer 460 I bought, used a couple of times but sits in the box. I was thinking of selling it to get a new Shimano Stradic 8000. After putting the 460 on the Trevala, it seems like a pretty darn good fit. Should I upgrae to a Stradic or is it not really an upgrade. Orrrrrrr, should I get a Saragosa.

I just don't hear much about the Slammers but I do certainly hear (read) plenty about Shimano.

Thanks, I struggle with these stupid gear decisions.
