well, I know the answer to my question but I only have 1 spinning reel and that is for silvers and Steelhead. a Blue flueger president. A great reel. and i'm using a berekley air 9'6 medium 8-12 I love the feel of it.
I'm set for kings with my lamiglas and ABU C4. so i'm taking both rods to the river. Can't throw a bobber and eggs very well with my casting rod and I just hope that if I hook a king using my spinning rod and reel on 12 lb test that I don't break off losing a fish and possibly my thill bobber. Oh well...
I was going to tie the main line to a swivel and run 20 lb straight on through but I don't like having a swivel up there so my main is going through to the weight and 20 on the leader. I don't like the idea of "wasting" my already tied on stops but guess it's my preference and tie on new ones. river holes might not be all that deep and if you have a swivel up top then you can't really move the bobber up or down and I don't want a bunch of free line hanging behind my back in trying to cast.
another question do any of you use that swivel up top or do u usually run ur main all the way through to the weight. Im not using a swivel down below either, i'm using those inline weights and tie on at both ends.
if I had used that swivel then my 12 lb test knot would be about 3 or 4 feet higher up instead of being tied on at the sinker. Does something think there is not much difference in line pressure give or take 3 or 4 feet above and or below? sorry if I didn't explain this cleary but if I lose a king to 12 lb test and improved clinch, I would hate to lose my thill bobber but oh well. can always find another on the river somewhere
On a good day
