I've been a fisherman for over 40+ years (now 50) and am just about ready to sell every spinning rod/reel combo I have due to the frustration level with them. I typically buy high quality equip like Loomis rods and Shimano reels but am extremely frustrated with the spinning reel problems. Limp line casts great for a while until it just comes off the spool in a bundle, and the other line I've tried has too much memory and coils like crazy thus casting distance suffers. Add line twist to the equasion and I'm just about fed up with spinning equipment.
My question is "What's the Secret" guys/gals, before I sell it all off for more baitcasting equipment. What do I need to be doing, I know some people swear buy them but I'm at my wits end.....
Do you have combos and line recommendations that you swear by and any tips/tricks to make the spinning equipment sing like it is supposed to ? I'm a MidWesterner (Wisconsin) transplanted out in California and am considering trying it one more go before dumping all my spinning equipment.
Thanks, for allowing me to rant, I'm looking forward to hearing from you all.....
