I just started using a spinner in the salt for RF/lings this year and did well with it. Running 20lb braid and leader. I actually want to go down in rod size with that set up. It’s rated 12-25 and fishes like a 20 and I want to fish more like a 15.

But yeah, light spinners in the salt are a blast. And if you get snagged I find it easier to grab the spool and break off (at 20lb) than a baitcaster and you don’t have to mess with your drag settings.

I used the Rhino side loader with my outback and didn’t like it.
Maybe I didn’t learn how to use it.
I ended up using a roller assist loader that apparently isn’t available on Amazon anymore.. but here’s the pics
Btw - I since applied a kiel protector that prevents the kiel from sliding as smoothly as bare plastic. Something to consider.
Good luck!
