Hello to all!
I am planning to make a stab at jig fishing for steelhead this fall/winter. As a dyed-in-the-wool baitcaster, I am told that spinning gear is the way to go. I have an Okuma reel, but am in need of advice as to the rod. Do I look for the same action as I look for in my baitcasting rod? Or, is there something else I need to know.
I'm a loomis guy, but hesitate to part with that much money until I see if the spinning thing will work out for me or not. I plan to fish such rivers as the Wilson, Nestucca, Trask, Siletz, Santiam etc etc etc.
Your help is appreciated!
