finnesse bass setup- it’s raining so I’m going to cabelas

I have nothing to do today in this shitty weather so I’m going to head to cabelas to purchase another setup that I don’t needed.
I’m looking for a lightweight spinning setup for bass fishing. I’m thinking the reel will be in the 1500-2000 size.
I’m not sure what rod action to get for this setup.

Do not get Lew's. Get either Daiwa or Shimano. I give Daiwa the edge on spinning reels. Rods are going to be personal. If they have any Fish Eagles left, give those a waggle.

I'm on the tacticalbassin train when it comes to the notion that your finesse setup should be the most sensitive rod you own, and with lighter line a really smooth drag is critical.
The wife will never find out combo: G Loomis GLX 802S JWR 6'8 medium extra fast, with Shimano Stradic 2500
She may roll her eyes but won't bitch too much combo: St. Croix Avid X 7' Medium extra fast, Shimano Nasci 2500
I think you'll really enjoy medium-extrafast for finesse stuff like drop shots and shakey heads, but it's also really subjective, varies from rod to rod, and is really too easy to overthink. Just hold the rod and imagine a really light bait sitting on the bottom, lift it like you would the worm, and see if it behaves like you think it should.

Did you buy today?
I like spinning reels (lighter the better) for finesse baits. Shimano Stradic Ci4 1000-2500 if you are inclined to go all out.
I've handled a couple Daiwas recently and like others said they put out some really nice spinning reels as well.
