Hi, first time poster here; this seems like a nice, safe thread for my debut.
I've never had a nice spinning outfit - just cheap stuff - so I finally bought a nice outfit. I chose the new Fenwick HMG medium fast with a Pflueger Supreme, which I've wanted for years. Seriously sweet gear, sensitive and beautifully balanced. When I get around to it I will install either a 30# Power Pro Slick line or a Suffix 832 braid on one spool, and Trilene XT 10# on the other spool. I'm looking forward to doing some drop shotting for bass with this outfit, and at the same time I bought an Abu Garcia Veritas MH casting rod to go wth my Ambassadeur casting reel for throwing big plugs. That will be my go-to primary weapon for pike.
I am also a big fly guy and my favorite fly rod is my Redington CPX 6wt for salmonids up to 7 lbs. Lat year I bought a Sage VXP and promptly sold it because I found it was just too powerful for my particular casting stroke and I am too old and stubborn a dog to change my ways to suit a new fish pole. I made a better caster than me very, very happy.
