@superrcpilot1 Ugly …
@superrcpilot1 Ugly sticks are great rods, espically if your a weekend warrior. You don’t need to spend $400 on a rod to go and relax. It is a bit touchy for me but I fish for pleasure 5 days plus a week. I DO use an ultra light Ugly stick for stocked trout and I own 2 others. One for fishing big cats and 1 for river muskies.. Plus your wife won’t be able to crush it in the disposal. I love that comercial.

Also, The largest …
Also, The largest reel I have ever used is a Shimano Stradic 4000. For heavey cover but mostly for BIG fish. Giant Cats, or Muskies. The Stradic 2000 or any comparable reel will handel just about anything else. Actually I wouldn’t be afraid landing any fish on the 2000. Being comfortable with both rod and bait is important.

With Rod selection …
With Rod selection it is important to also consider how you are fishing. Float tubing is becoming VERY popular here in the North East USA and using a 7ft rod or any bait caster for that matter is a bit of a no-no. The Largest Rod I would EVER use is a 6′6″ MH w/ 8-20lb test. Maybe some braid for ripping heavy cover. A faster 6 or 6′6″ footer can handel just about anything else including crank baits.

Not sure why Ron uses a 6′6″ graphite fast action for cranking. Seems odd for a guy that know his stuff,,, 7′ to 7′6 med to slow action composite rod is the usual choice for good bass anglers now days..

i wouldnt recomend …
i wouldnt recomend doing that for a few reasons but mainly because with a casting rod you have a trigger on the bottom and if you put a spinning reel on there the trigger will be facing up and get in the way, making it a pain to have a good grip on the rod. during cast and what not.
