Hey guys, I'm looking at a new specific reel that only comes in 7.3:1, and is 30 inches per crank, could I use this for swimjigs, chatterbaits and spinnerbaits or should I just find a 6.3:1 instead, another question; what gear ratio should I use for belly weighted swimbaits like rage swimmers?? Thanks
So I have a question for everyone.. how do you go about choosing weight size for jig like lures? I don't or haven't done much jig fishing so I feel like I'm completely clueless when it comes to trying to determine wherther I should choose 1/2oz 3/8oz or maybe 3/4oz jig size jigs.. the same concept for trying to figure out chatterbaits and tungsten punch weights... I'm guessing people are going to say it depends what kind of structure I'm fishing and how deep.. I have no idea how deep I am fishing usually because I have a small inflatable pontoon boat with no electronics.. but I do have some maps that I printed out on the lakes I fish and most of the time it's usually no more than 10-15ft max just because it is usually pretty shallow with lay down trees, stumps, lots of submerged vegetation Lilly pads. Also lots of various docks too. The majority of the lakes are not very big lakes but have excellent cover for hiding bass.. I'm up in western Washington just south of Seattle.. anyways any help or suggestions any can offer is so very greatly appreciated! I have learned so much from you guys already but never really did much if any jig fishing... Growing up it was always spinner bait and crankbaits when bass fishing... I feel like I'm not a complete bass angler because jig fishing isn't such a hug staple in a bass angler arsenal..
Hello all!
I'm in the market for a new swimjig rod. Would also like to use it for spinnerbaits/chatterbaits and the occasional lipless crank. I have a 6'10" MH-Fast Daiwa Tatula paired with a Lew's Tournament MB and absolutely love it for texas rigging and jigs 3/8 and under. Would like to get another Tatula for swimjigs and chatterbaits, but I'm not exactly sure which action to get. I'm thinking the 7'2" MH-Regular (TAT721MHRB). Does anyone have any experience with this rod? Or would you suggest a different action? Not sure exactly what regular means... I would think it means moderate, but from what I've read a lot of people say the Tatula regular is more like mod-fast. If this is true, mod-fast is sort of what I'm looking for. Any input would be appreciated!
