I use a arra 1205 with a ABU BG 7000CL with 50 LB spectron. . Very good for the 2 to 4 I usually use. a little weak IMO for the very rare 5. I think the Allstar 1208 fills the same slot for less money.

If I threw 4 to 6 OZ regularly , I would use an arra 126 1 MH or an Allstar 1209. I would still use the BG7000CL reel with50 LB spectron.

I would not use a spinner at the canal myself. Wouldn't even consider it. However , if someone does want to go spinner , i would go with the Arra 126 1MH. I guess I would use 65 lb Whiplash if i could get it. Anyway , thats a mute point for me. The reason i would choose conventional has nothing to do with casting and everything to do with what happens after I hook up.

One thought I always had was that if you really want distance at the canal , I'd throw 5 and 6 OZ jigs using an Allstar 11'9" rod.
