The wife knows! I’m addicted
During post spawn, I was fishing with a Shakespeare graphite spinning reel combo and while casting on the bank, my immediate thought was dang, I’m hung again. Needless to say that I was not hung, there was a fish on the hook (never felt him bite). After reading on the forums, I read about better quality rods and I immediately went to BP and purchased
St Croix Premier 7’ M/ fast action graphite rod w/ Shimano Sahara 2500FE 6.2:1 reel. I added 12lb fluorocarbon line
I would like to mainly use this rod for crank bait, swim bait and top water
St. Croix Premier 7’ MH/fast action graphite rod with a Pflueger Supreme 6.2:1. I also added 12lb fluorocarbon line
I would like to mainly use this rod for Carolina Rigging , Spinner bait and Jigs
After reading several post, I realized that I need to change the fishing line on the medium rod (used for crank bait) from fluoro to mono. I read on the post that fluorocarbon line does not sink and then I read that it does sink.
Will someone please clarify that because my chug bug goes underwater?
Can someone give some recommendation on a quality mono (no braid please) that will work for an OK setup?
Do I need to swap my reels and place the Shimano Sahara on the MH rod?
Are there any other recommendations on my setup (besides buying a bait caster)?
I will probably buy another set up in the future (been looking at the 7’ Duckett Micro Magic) but until then I want to learn to properly use the set up in place.
Thanks in Advance. I have learned from the videos and reading on the site but I still a lot to learn. Keep posting guys!!
