my baitcasting set up is a med heavy okuma 9 ft rod with an okuma chromer salmon/steelhead reel, i can chuck 4 oz of lead jig half way across hemmingway with 20 lb test, but its a long way back jigging a 4 oz jig. i also switch it up sometimes and use my abu garcia 4000 saltwater baitcaster u know its the red one that everyone has or had at one point, i love that reel i've had it for years, the abu was around $50, and the okuma was around $80. both are light weight, but have alot of torque 5:1 and 5:3 gear ratio not the fastest but has that extra muscle for them big un's. and them big hefty baits.hope this helps some [signature]
