      Brian Hulse That’s funny I have the Persus and I like it more than the Torrent. But I do have it on a smaller swimbait Ledge fishing setup. It’s a bigger reel I think that’s why most don’t like it. It’s really a reel you’re going to make long casts and reel the bait back.

      @@BassGeek that's good to know I'll keep an eye out for that . I fish 3 to 4 days a week and so far so good I haven't had any issues yet. I have caught quite a few fish on it so far even hooked up on a 5 lb catfish and about a 10 lb drum and it handled it well . I use this combo as my largemouth and white bass rig so it sees alot of action. I've had it about 6 months now and it's held up nicely so far but we will see how well it holds up after this season. I dont have any knowledge on thier reels unfortunately but it has done well with the abu garcia black max and the colors match so it looks pretty slick i hope it holds up if so id like to buy another and another black max reel for a back upThanks for the reply.

    Love the Keep Or Cull series, it's a genuine non biased opinion from a seasoned vet of the sport. I'm in the market for a new finesse spinning rig. Looking for 6-10/7ft med lt-med fast action rod. Use it for weightless baits, light Texas riggs etc. $200+/- for combo. Any suggestions?

    • @BassGeek
      @BassGeek  Před 5 lety +1

      It really does depend on what price range you're at. If you are wanting to stay on the low end it is hard to beat the Piscifun gear. The Lew's TP1 is a great Rod. Man there are so many There are several Diawa offerings from 100 to 130. Just so so many rods out there. Heck even Six gill when they run the buy on get one that is a tough deal to beat. Now as far a reels. I haven't tried the Piscifun spinning reels but I've got several friends that LOOOOOOve them. I'm a Lew's\Shamano spinning reel guy. It's just hard to beat that Lews Mach Crush for 99 bucks. It's sooooo smooth and silky.
