Wreck Fishing - Spinning or Conventional Reel

[Capt. Lou]

No issues with using spinning for ur inshore wreck fishing.
The drawbacks R reels. generally speaking a good quality spin reel is required & u may have to spend extra bucks on a decent reel .
Many 7' Plus rods will handle this duty but ALWAYS select a fast taper with comparable power to line# test line ur using !
I prefer a 7.6 spin with a 3500 / 4000 series size hi quality reel loaded with braid & top shot of 30 to 50 mono depending on species & conditions.
Nothing wrong with wreck or any bottom fishing with spin gear now with many current model spin reels up to the challenge !
In fact in jigging I believe they excel do to the fact u can grip the rod in front of the reel & use the rear weight of the reel to lighten ur jigging stroke & simply said allows u to jig rod only & not heft the weight of reel on each lift !
Any fined tuned spinning outfit is up to this task easily !!
