[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 381585, member: 429"] I’ve always been a spin cast rod guy. I’m well aware of all the advantages bait cast advocates preach, but I’ve never felt like I’ve been missing out. My favorite spin cast rod setup for bouncing and short lining cranks has been the Scheels Walleye series medium moderate taper 7’6” rod. I have 2 generations of production models and I have to say that the “old school” one is still my favorite to this day. The newer version lacks in 2 areas: first, the action is faster than the original and loads up more than it should, and second, the handle behind the reel is shorter. That said, it’s still a very capable rod. Spin or bait cast, I believe in a long shaft behind the reel is just as important as the action to handle the strain on the wrist while pulling bouncers or short lining cranks over an extended period of time. Action and rod fatigue are equally important in my book. [/QUOTE]
