thanks everyone. that was all super helpful. Now left hand or right hand reel? and are the rod eyes up (facing Sky) while reeling or down (facing the water) like a spinning rod??
thank you
I've been bass fishing with a spinning rod for years now. now i want to try a baitcaster. looked at new shimano DC 150 reel. any idea what rod to pair it with? also besides a further cast why use a bait caster? thanks
Im about to purchase the G Loomis 852s rod and wonder if anyone has experience with it. I also have a st Croix legend elite 7' ML rod. Any idea how it compares? I fish plastics typically 5" seniors and similar worms
well i split my casts between the 7 foot ML ad the 6-6 Light st croix. more fight with the light but i like both. waters are clear on my lake and i land a lot of large mouth. biggest was 5.7 lbs and happened to land it on the light pole hell of a fight and super fun. following weekend i landed a 5.2 large mouth on the ML also a great fight. both had the heart beating like mad and reminds me why i love fishing so much. Im pretty much a rookie as i don't know about the weights of my lures etc. i throw mostly 4-6" plastics texas rigged and it all goes pretty well. can't get enough. only sorry now its winter in new england so have to wait until next april to get back out. most fishing off a native 10" propel kayak and its absolutely awesome.
thanks much. its not clear why u like the ML so much more. its so thick compared to the light.
just fished this morning and water is cloudy due to rain. didn't catch any. too cold? any advice?
