Default Hybrid Stripers and Northern Pike

Looking for a Spinning setup that I can use in tandem with Hybrid Stripers, Northern Pike and potentially large carp above 30-40lbs.

Any recommendations on a Reel, Rod (Length and Action) and line?

Or multiple recommendations on different setups for them?

Thanks

I have a Medium St. Croix mojo bass rod (it leans more MH) that I use for all of the mentioned species as well as smallmouth, tog, etc. It performs well in all of those situations. I have a 3000 size Nasci on it, it's my favorite setup by far!

There's too much disparity with the listed species. For hybrids, I prefer a moderate action rod to absorb the tooth jarring impact of a hybrid bite and something that'll eat the momentum of their cartwheels and runs without pulling the hook.

I don't think you need anything fancy for pike... They're not punishing you like a hybrid will.

And 30 to 40 lb carp... those are large fish. I'd look at light surf rods, or an actual carp set up. Swamp donkeys that size will destroy a smaller set up and wear out a reel.
