Jim, what set up do you use when spybaiting as far as pole and line? I see you are using a Helix unit. I just bought a new Nitro that came with Lowrance Elite ti 12 in console and 9 on the bow but I know I'll want to upgrade. They wouldn't let me upgrade at POS unfortunately. When I do, I'll probably go Lowrance HDS Carbon units 12 and 12 on the bow or Hummingbird Solix or Helix 12 and 12 as well. What made you choose your Hummingbird?
My setup for the size 80 spybait is a Enigma Aaron's Edge 6'11" medium fast action rod and a Lew's speed spin loaded with 5lb fluorocarbon line. Since it's 5lb test you need to keep your drag set appropriately. I had some trouble with my Lowrance units and decided to go with the birds because Lanier Jim and Bill Carson are good friends and can provide local support for the hummingbirds.
