In my opinion, that rod is definitely not a spinning rod. I built a 1208 spinning that was a real meat stick and would have made a better conventional. Most of these guys that fish the canal prefer conventional equipment for heavy tackle. Also, the VS 300 is a big, heavy winch and unless you already own one, I would caution against buying one. A friend of mine has one and its a very limited use reel. The VS 200 is the most versatile and can be used on rods from 8-11 feet and from boats.
