Hi all,
With mack bashing season coming on us I was thinking of getting a new rod and reel. I have a teklon concept paired with a shimano stradic ci4 300f for lure fishing and I love this light setup for bassing. I was wondering what setup people find good for feathering? The main thing I want is a lightweight setup, so a good 3 piece rod casting up to 3 oz leads thats nice and light for standing for hours chucking 2 or 3 oz leads out. Also a nice lightweight reel to match..basically something robust for mack fishing but with the lightweight aspect of rod and reel important.
Any recommendations?

Or just dispense with the feathers all together
Edit: using your existing setup

I have the 10ft, 3 piece penn powerstix bass spin rod rated to 3 oz and I find it brilliant for macks. I stick my Penn 6000 off my bass rod on it for feathering. its a great, light rod for blasting out feathers.
