My buddy is convinced that I cannot effectively fish spoons and drift gear on the same rod. I will be tossing drift gear more often than spoons but I want to gain more confidence in spoons as well so there will be pretty dedicated spoon fishing days in my future. I just don't have it in the cards to have a dedicated rod for each method I'm into, nor do I want to carry a bunch of rods with me everywhere I go. I use my SRT1163S for drift fishing and float and jig fishing and i've started tossing spoons with it as well. I'll be getting the STR1265S that will be my designated float rod and will double as my heavier rod for kings, and I want the casting setup for drift gear/spoons. It's just a real pain to be float fishing and then decide you want to switch over to drift gear and have to re-rig and then maybe you'll switch back to float and jig a while later and have to re-rig again.

Thanks,

Drew
