For spinning, I have Okuma Safina Noir 10fd with UL Berkley Phazer Pro 2, Daiwa Ninja 3000 with Berkley Phazer Pro 2 ML (5-15g) and Abu Garcia Cardinal C4 with Mikado Spintube rod, also 5-15g. I also have rod by finnish brand called Patriot, which is medium, 7-25g, but it's not that great. Mikado I have yet to test, but it was cheap too, about 40 bucks, but I got it for half price. I do fly-fishing with Vision's Vipu rod and reel, #5.

From the reels, my favorite one is the C4, I like Ninja too but it's a bit too smooth, I like reels with a bit more "feel" to them. Kinda like cars, with a very new cars you don't generally have resistance when you turn, and don't really feel the road in the driving wheel.

Yeah, fried vendace is great, but it's mostly fished by seines, trawling or fishing nets, though you can catch them with fly fishing or fishing rod and worms, I think.
