Hi guys,

I receive a spinning Shimano Spheros Sw SP8000 reel brand new as a gift, I would like to know what would be the proper spec rod to use with this reel, i am traveling to Gonzaga on 3 weeks I and would like to use it there, the plan would be to use it for jigging.

thank you guys!

If it was me, and was using for jigging, I'd get. ..

I'd stick with the trevala "f" model. The other ones are like noodle sticks, flimsy as hell. Can't jig with a limp noodle rod

for some reason my big 5 rod that cost 20 dollars has caught more fish than my gloomis rods.

I could be wrong but I've never seen you fish with a G-Loomis rod. What model do own?
