Are you leaning towards a spinning or conventional outfit?

For fluke I love my St Croix Avid Inshore 7' H Casting rod. It handles 8oz bucktails no problem and the sensitivity is unparalleled. I have it paired with a Shimano Calcutta 400B.

I'm looking at the shimano type J .

Hi Jerry
conventional i'm leaning towards, unless i'm convinced spinning is better.

i'll take both opinions if you have something in mind.
thanks

Everyone has their own preference but if fishing bucktails you will be much better off fishing braid as you will be able to fish lighter bucktails do to less line drag when drifting and be able to stay more up and down then using mono where your line will scope out much more. When buctailing braid is the way to go

I know I'm going to get hate for saying this, but I use an ugly stik striper spinning rod. Works great for light bucktails inshore and surf. I honestly don't need the sensitivity because the way I jig its like I am constantly setting the hook.
