The GX2 at 6ft medium is 39 on Amazon right now.
The strange thing is I have a popper that weighs just barely noticeable than the one in the jig pictures above. It casts great! I can cast out like 50ft. Haven't had much luck with that one just yet. I end up going places boats cant; weeds and low water depth.)
​
Anyways, I just bought a few things:
I got some braided line (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B4549TS) for the baitcaster. Sorry for the colors, but I'm an IT guy, so RBG colors when available. :D But I'm going to do a 20 lbs. monofilament leader that I have on hand. Hopefully that will help with smoother casts. I am still working on my casting technique. My eyes have been opened in that regard and I'm going to practice skipping, overhead, etc, more this weekend.
​
Picked up this spinner (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F0KMLI4) Mostly, tbh, it matches my baitcaster :D. I'm going to put 20 lbs monofilament on this. Again, I have some on hand.
​
Not relevant, but I also grabbed this fish finder (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MARDOCW) If I cant manage with this setup, than I'll admit I'm doing something wrong :P But the idea is I can throw out the transducer/bobber with the rod not currently being used.
I picked up my 1st rod/reel combo a few months ago and I loved it. I tend to get out a few times a week and I've never had any issues. I throw all types of lures in all different weights. I have it spooled with 20lb braid and backed with 20lb mono.

I recently tried out my buddy's baitcaster and I fell in love with baitcasters. I enjoy the "challange" of learning to use it and the finesse. So this week I went ahead and ordered the same one he has.

For where I fish and the species available to me either a spinning rod or baitcaster is fine. I just like the feel of a baitcaster and it being more "technical" than a spinning reel.
