Tough to beat a conventional at the Canal. Feeding out line is a lot easier when jigging and I like a conventional after hooking up. Yes most can cast further with a spinner but with practice that evens out and the advantages of the revolving spool when bouncing jigs is significant IMO.

IYou need a big reel that will hold at least 3000 yards of line. Braid is the way to go. A lot of people like 50 to 60 lb Power Pro now.

Rod has to be stout and able to cast the jigs to at least 4 and likely 5 OZ. There are many reels that fit this application and the Conventionals are generally less money than the high end spinners.
