abu garcia veritas 1002h Casting Rod 7' / Heavy / Fast day fishing Surf/Rock Spinning Rod Abu Garcia

As far as the frame is concerned, I usually clean it for cosmetic purposes, but you really dont want any dirt in and around the ingress points like where the spool makes contact and where the worm gear cover sits

I also had to try flipping some creature baits into the water-hyacinth and lilly pads that crowded a nearby shoreline

This powerful, fast and robust rod is a whopping 20% lighter than its predecessor, without sacrificing power and performance

Bottom line pick the spinner for inexperienced anglers and for all-around usage, employ the baitcaster when focus and precision are needed in a challenging environment such as lily pads or dock pilings
