Christopher Bowman I agree with Kevin.. No braid. You have to remember that braid floats so it will affect the depth of baits.

you can use braid, but the question is missing something. What type of action bait? top water, crank, bladed jig, 

I am looking for you but I have not seen you. Can you send a screen shot of it please. 

Got both of you all.. Thank you for the follow as well!

for me, watercolor plays a small part in what I throw. Clearer water, more natural. dirtier water, contract colors. now, to make it simple on you stick with solid white, white / chartreuse, or a dark color. If you want to go down that rabbit hole, start looking at blade size, style, and combos. WOW!!

Methylated is a good color.. But you didn't need to tell everyone 😉

Filled it out. Some stuff I put NA because I did not have a good answer

Pops and I are in. We can listen while on the water

OK.. Spool size is the bigger player in spinning reels. All depends on line size you are planning on throwing. Most spools I use are 2000,2500 or 3000 size.

Christopher Bowman I do not think gear ratio in a spinning reel makes a difference. Is there a reason you think gearing is important for that? Maybe I am missing something 🤔
