I use a 6'8" Medium extra fast mojo bass casting rod with 30 lb braid to a 14 lb mono leader for topwater and jerkbaits.
If you use ned/ dropshot rigs your going to need a spinning rod, I use a 7'6" medium light extra fast mojo bass spinning rod with 15 lb braid to an 8 lb fluorocarbon leader.
Thank you for letting me know this information. Like I said, this is my first time fishing for spring smallmouth. After reading up on it, I have decided to follow your guide, I don't want to risk the fish and the future population of the lake. I will fish near drop offs and stay away from the shallow gravel/sand flats. Thank you for being kind and not scolding me for my lack of knowledge on the subject.
What do y'all think the best bed fishing bait for smallmouth is. This is my first time bed fishing for smallies. I plan on using a 6'10" medium light spinning rod with a Daiwa BG 2500 spinning reel. ( I fish Northern Wisconsin).
I just bought the 2.4 inch, 1/4 oz Dark Sleeper. I was planning on throwing it on a 6'10" medium light spinning rod with 10 lb braid to a 5lb flourocarbon leader. Does anyone agree with the setup I am using or should I use something else?
