For what its worth, I do a lot of trolling with the paddletail and now the jerk shad with a spinning reel in a skiff and a kayak
They directly determine how easily and quickly the Spool spins, and thus how far and sensitively you cast
This summer I wont hesitate to use this setup for slinging slab spoons for white bass and hybrids
I have also caught wild trout up to around 2lbs in weight - and the rod, amazingly, did not feel out-gunned at all
