[QUOTE="sierra1995, post: 257282, member: 1059"] i'm probably a novice compared to most on here, but my go-to pitching rod is a 7' ML fast tip, scheels guide series. i've got a high speed retrieve spinning reel (daiwa i think?) with 6lb orange trilene sensation. I like to be agle to see the line, and when using small jigs, mono doesn't sink as fast as braid keep the jig off the bottom longer. Usually 3/16 to 5/16 oz on this set up BUT - and my buddies give me a hard time - i will also pitch with my 5'9" M fenwick, 8lb fireline and 3/8 jig, using a snap type retrieve rather than a slower retrieve. I've caught plenty of fish both ways, but also broke a rod or two throwing that heavy jig around. It's just like anything else, if something isn't working, try something else. Sometimes the heavier jig (even in really shallow water) works better than the lighter. Sometimes mono works better than braid. same with minnows and plastics, try both and go with what works. again, i'm a novice compared to most, but being dead set on one-way of doing things usually doesn't work out, especially on the tough days.
