  1. So in a previous post I stated that I am just getting back into Bass fishing and needed some insight into which baitcaster to buy out of the two I was looking at. I got a lot of good suggestions and insights but one in particular really got me thinking. Zell_pop1 had suggested I buy both, so after thinking about it for sometime I decided he was right and I bought both. Not only did I buy both, a few days later I bought another one, why, I don’t know. Now I have 3 Baitcasters and have no idea what type of line to spool them with. Two of them are 6:2:1 gear ratios while the third is an 8:3:1. As I stated in my previous post I am a bank angler, hoping to get a kayak sometime late summer, early fall. I would greatly appreciate any advice on what I type of line I should spool them with. I will be throwing mostly soft plastics, crank baits, spinner baits, and spoons. I have Yo-Zuri hybrid spooled on one but am willing to go in a different direction altogether, I’m not married to one type of line at this point. Help please! ( I still don’t know what I was thinking buying 3!!)
  2. I'm trying to make a topwater and jerkbait setup that includes the typical medium fast rod and a 6.8:1 reel. I want to use braid as I throw spooks in open water quite frequently and I like braid as I can twitch it on very long casts and I don't have to set the hook when they hit it 35+ yards out. However, I'm not sure about using jerkbaits with braid. It doesn't seem much different than using braid with topwater, and I've never had the treble hooks rip out of a topwater fish. I've read a few articles talking about the pros of using braid with jerkbaits. I would use 25-30 lb braid and a 6- 6 1/2 foot 8 lb fluorocarbon leader. What are y'all's opinions on using braid for jerkbaits? Thanks
