I just read this part and...whoa there...there are very few single hook applications for bass where a ML rod will work. You need to upsize your rod before you start thinking about new baits to try.
This is such a strange concept to me... I am someone that runs drag much lighter than I need because I thumb the spool to regulate my drag. I don't understand why I would want 0 drag...
I have tried them - even after boiling them amd drilling holes through it to try and give it more action it was hot garbage.
Would not recommend at all.
8' xh daiwa elite swimbait rod with my 300 hd Lexa on it with 2 boxes of swimbaits.
I would have the 65# Cortland Silentflip braid to a 17# Gamma copoly leader and using a tactical clip.
A lot if the foil wraps look really good in the water. A lot of times bass aren't hunting good healthy fish - they are looking for something that is injured that has difficulty swimming - i.e. easier prey.
This is the truth. When fishing gliders in the early spring o have 2 rods - 1 with copoly and 1 with fluoro just because the glide depth changes as the water warms up.
That's wild to me - each year I get several over 6 up here in Pa and many over the 5 mark. There are waters that don't have those sizes but I mostly stay away from them.
I lost my last Lucky Craft pointer 78 in color way flake flake male gill #228.
I went to search them out and they are discontinued. Anyone have a lead where I could get a couple in the 78 size? There are other colorways that are close but this one has my heart...
See the picture.
Overall I agree with you - I prefer a fast action rod for bladed jigs and its hard to get used to that mushy feel from the ones marketed for them. I will say the technique does draw strikes but it's a hard switch...
