Physically Demanding Lures And/or Techniques

[Felix77]

The Alabama Rig wears me out!  LOL

[DTack]

ALL day with a spook or a ripbait in my hand is what wears me out the most.  If I am just throwing and winding all day that is a bit easier regardless if it's an a-rig or a 12" bait.

Of baits I actually fish would be deep cranks, jerkbaits, and spooks.

Anything done in high wind sucks.

[Big Bait Fishing]

Toss a 3-5oz bait for 2hrs. Your jerkbait will seem like sunshine and rainbows after that. I can't even imagine the guys who throw the big swimbaits that weigh 6-8oz or more all day long.

if you have the right rod , throwing 8 oz. swimbaits is like throwing a 1 oz. jig on a M/H or H rod , no problem at all . on the flip side , using an underated rod for big swimbaits is VERY tiresome and you'll feel it the next day or you might even jack up your rotator cuff . same principal applies to all bass fishing , using the right gear makes all the difference

I have the Okuma 7'11 heavy swimbait rod.

I like fishing in junk.. I go and go til the end of the day. Then I feel it.... I do the same thing the next day. I love it!

i hear that rod maxes out around 3-4 oz. , if you were to throw 6-8 oz. baits you would feel the rod overload in your arms and shoulders !!! i throw my swimbaits on a custom St. Croix Big Nasty that will handle BIG baits !!

[WPCfishing]

Throwing toads with my Lews Magnum One is a workout to say the least. It's a stick.. Throwing a punch jig is right in it's wheel house. It's also good for swim baits which I seldom fish with.

Yes, it does. My heaviest bait is a 8" hudd which is a tad over 4oz. Everything else hovers around 2.5-3oz and it's perfect for those weights. I don't throw them a bunch so when I do I can feel it.

Getting out of bed at O dark thirty to go fishing is physically demanding, casting big heavy swimbaits when it's cold and damp can be cruel to an old man.

3 herniated disc, torn ligaments, sciatia nerve pain, rheumatoid arthritis, calcium deposits, to name a few.

Every technique hurts!

Sounds similar to my last MRI..... replacing the herniated discs with miscellaneous vertabre fractures and compressions, that is.

Casting the Alabama Rig or huge swimbaits.

 

X2.

The Bama rig wears me out.

Huge swimbaits can produce some large bass but they are a bear to continually throw.

[lecisnith]

I figure it's not the fishing that hurts. It's the ten years of delivering furniture that hurts. That being said I must still be pretty stout or just not doing it right because usually the only thing that hurts on me is my back after fishing for 12+ hours.

[Jaw1]

I like to throw big or big to me walking Topwater baits but the next day my wrists tell me it's time to quit.
