I gotta go with Rob on his comments.  Anything 1/4 oz or lighter, I am using spinning gear.  I bought a loomis 7'6" 8300 saltwater this year and am matching it up with a pfluger.  I want to throw a smaller profile crank/jerkbait this year and plan on using 6lb gamma with it.  (Thanks for that tip, Smitty)  I also want to be able to throw in a wind and had crap for luck with a typical shimano/loomis combo.  I just decided to make the change to the obvious.  I am telling you, I can chuck that rig with a 1/4oz crank in the yard over 51 paces!!  I am jacked to give it a go for real.
