<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">With the ultra thin super lines… my favorite is GLISS when it comes to this presentation… the longer casts achieved with these tiny baits still result with solid contact. A quick little twitch is usually all that is needed to set the hook because of the no stretch factor and property of the line. </span></i></p>

<p>Only problem with shorter rods and longer casts is that it's harder to set the hook, especially when you're in a kayak. Ask me how I know :)<br/><br/>If you're planning on going as small as a 1/80th, maybe you want to go with a fly-rod instead of a spinning rig? This will let you have a longer rod for hooksets. Just use a strike indicator.</p>
