Best combo a question for all?

[Eddie Hernandez]

What is the best combo for bank fishing? I use a spinning combo of a 500 series shimano reel and a 6.5 ft 2 piece med fast rod. What does everyone else use?

Great question, I use a Shimano Curado 200G7 and a 6’-9” medium Fishing Tackle Unlimited “Green Rod”. I like the rod a ton and actually saw a couple come up on FB marketplace used recently that I have my eye on. The Curado 200G7 is ok but I am on the hunt for an older 200E7 which had a better build than the G.

So you like the bait caster is there a reason you prefer it over the spinning reel and I actually just bought a curado 200EJ but don’t know much about it.

So I like the bait caster because I feel that with the FTU green rod I can really feel the slightest tap. The thing I also like is I can cast it pretty quickly without having to deal with the bell on the spinning reel. My dad however would always use a spinning reel on a light weight Berkley lightning rod for flounder fishing and I think that was because it had more give on the tip. So I keep the same setup with a smaller shimano 1000 spinning.

I almost never pull out more than one rod at time or set a rod up unattended because I really prefer to fish with just one at a time.
