I went for the 30-70 I have used 9 oz on it when drifting for Bass. I have gently lobbed an 8oz out on it and use a 5oz on my feathers which it copes with very well Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, you're not actually casting 4-6oz full beans. So a light spinning rod can happily drop 6oz all day as long as you're not casting it. A gentle lob would be about the limit but mostly you'll be fishing vertically, so all good. Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a HTO lure Game 10-40g and regularly drop 160g shads, then bounce them off the bottom in 150ft, no problem Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
