Default Re: Need your help with my gear!!

Just my opinion, but based on what you already have, here's how I'd set it up and what I would use with each outfit:

Pflueger combo: light soft plastics, small cranks, small jerkbaits - spool with 8 lb fluoro
Winch/Winch: heavier cranks and jerkbaits - spool with 12 to 14 lb fluoro
Curado/Veritas or Vendetta: spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, buzzbaits, topwater plugs - spool with 14 to 20 lb mono

I don't think any of your current equipment is great for frogs. If you were to buy one more setup, I would recommend a 7-0 or 7-6 heavy or even extra-heavy rod, and a reel with a gear ratio of 7:1 or higher. This would be good for frogs, heavy Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, and big jigs. Put at least 30 lb braided line on this setup.
