For the spinning setup, I recommend a 6 - 66 medium light action rod with 10lb

Now to set the spool tension for your first cast, tie something on like a 1/2-ounce jig and while holding the rod tip straight out in front of you with about a foot of line between the bait and your rod tip, start backing off of the spool tension knob by rolling it towards your body slowly until the bait begins to fall

While I do prefer this setup for a variety of moving baits, it also works great for jigs, Texas rigs and other slow moving bottom baits

The two pieces seamlessly lock together, making it challenging to tell that its a two-piece rod
