thanks BILLM, i have two 9 ft. heavy action rods with bait casters. i'm checking the spinning reel market, will look up the tranx 500. cheers.

thanks old ironmaker, i watched a couple of u-tube videos on the cape cod canal, using guppy pencil poppers with huge shimano spinning reels & big surf rods, fishing for stripers & blues. they were casting a mile with 40 lb. test. like casting in wide-open st.clair.

hey LOU, the c-3 works fine for me on that big nasty beach rod. the only thing is i'm 67 & throwing big m-baits on the heavy rod does me in before lunch. the afternoon is a daiwa 1300 ss on a 9 ft. loomis blank fishing walleyes ?

thanks JOSH, that reel would look a lot better on my okuma big nasty supercast beach rod than the ambassador abu garcia C-3 that i have on it ? can't beat the price on that combo.

thanks, i will google them.

thanks BILLM----i'm starting to get the full picture.

thanks GARNET, good info, likely stick with my bait casters.

kicking frog, thanks. you got me thinking now, you make some great points.

thanks RIZZO, i'll be checking out amazon for price ?

thanks GARNET, how would they stand-up to a 25 lb. muskie on lake st.clair ? would they handle a big muskie on open water ?

hello everyone---has anyone one out there used a daiwa BG-4000sw spinning reel for muskie hunting ? they hold a lot of heavy-duty line & a great drag system. i have 2 bait casters, i watched a u-tube video with a guy fighting & landing a 50 lb. tarpon with this spinning reel . i might buy one ???

norma --all these musky pics, are over the last 13 yrs. that i have fished lake st.clair. these are pics of me & my musky buddies. good times !
