Spinning gear for sails...

Will be in Islamorada for the winter and want to know what some preferred spinning gear (run 'n gun live ballyhoos) for sails you all might like. Thanks...

Shimano 4500 bait runners with 12lb sufix are our islamorada set. We go to the 6500 with 20lb for general sailfishing when we go to goggle eyes... The 12lb casts much better than 20 for target shooting. Buy a bunch of spare spools and change out after each fish for best results...

We use 650 or 750 Penn spinners loaded with 30#, 5 ft bimini and 15 ft of 50# leader tied to a 5/0 Gamagatsu 4x
