I've caught bass over 10#, 3# Crappie, 15# catfish and a big Grass carp that was close to 50# with this combo.
For real casting I like rods 6' 6" or longer paired with 2500 series Daiwa reels. My favorite has 5# braid with a 6# clear mono leader.
Pappy yep cast & retrieve for crappie suspended in open water. Just interested in something that will throw a 1/32 or 1/16 jig a long way out in front of the boat.Quote:

For 1/32oz I like soft and bendy long rod. I have 7’3” and 7’8 Major craft Crostage pair with Daiwa ballistic/Tatula MQ2500 compact and Nanofil 6lb line. 1/16oz Major craft Basspara ML pair with Vanford 2500 and 8-12lb Nanofil. Nanofil always my main line and help a lot with casting distance. I use 6lb copolymer line as leader.
For 1/16 and smaller, Jenko trick stick light with a 2000 series daiwa revros. 6lb stren gold
For 1/8, Shimano expride 6'10 ml with a 2000 series daiwa tatula. 10 lb braid to 6lb flouro
