OMG, I can't believe I forgot Zoom 4' fluke and fish weighless. I started bass fishing with it, and need to go back to it. I rarely get stuck with it, haha.
What is the depth? The bank I am fishing at is 7-8 feet deep, and I use 1/4 oz swim Jig. Lost 1-2 Jig per outing (5-6 hours), so I think you need to change technique or location.
Line conditioner is not going to make a big difference for braided lines, I still use it because I have a leader on 80% of the time. If you are going to fish pure braid, then you can do it without the line conditioner.
Someone correct me if i am wrong, but I don't feel any difference.
150 yard spool with 50 yard as backing, then fill 100 yard with braid. If you are think 100 yard is not enough, then I would practice with BC using cheap lines to get confortable. You will get back lash once a while, but I have used 832 on the same spool for two seasons and only had to retie leader on it.
I have filled my spool 1/4 full with cheap lines from walmart, 1000 yard for 5-6 bucks then tie braided line onto it. I will use FC leader if needed, and its been working pretty well for me.
Braided line on everything, and use a leader if needed. Use some KVD line conditioner, and the spool will last you years. Just remember to use FC leader in clear water, and dont set the hook too hard.
There isn't a "best" trailer for Swim jigs, but my favorite has been Zoom grubs. I have them in different colors, but I have loaded up on Rage Tails grubs this year. Rage Tails always make good product, so I have confident on them.
