Use braid for frogs, heavy grass, thick pads, and heavy-cover fishing
Scenario 3: Freshwater Bass Fishing Split Decision : Low-speed (5.0:1) dominated crankbait fishing, while high-speed (6.2:1) crushed reaction baits like chatterbaits
In this review, we'll look at a few pros and cons, along with some real-world uses and performance assessments of the brand-new Penn Spinfisher VII 5500 (SSVII5500) that I've been using recently

Our go-to California halibut and striper surf fishing rig and setup is as follows, from bottom of the rig to the reel: Small swimbait rigged weedless-style or on a 3/4 to 1-ounce underspin jig head, small jerkbait, spinnerbait or dropshot-rigged shad / fluke 20-pound fluorocarbon leader / top shot (3 to 4-feet) for all styles with 1 to 3-ounce weight for dropshot 8 to 11-foot medium+, medium or medium-light surf spinning rod rated for 1 to 4-ounce sinkers 3000 to 5000-size spinning reel loaded with 20 or 30-pound braid (try 20 for a good all round option) The best livebait rig for California halibut is called a Stinger Rig and consists of a similar set-up to the dropper loop, but the branch of line with the hook on has a small J hook to pin through the livebait's nose, and then a treble hook that hooks into the bait's flank about half-way down
Durability often correlates with price, but it's worth evaluating this balance carefully
