Landing a 40 inch redfish on a barbie rod is far more difficult than landing a 1-6 pound bass on 4-8 pound mono. The Barbie rod? Her jumping at the end, brought joy to my day. 1 Quote

FishDewd Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 She makes that barbie rod look darn good! The maker (zebco?) should endorse her, cause it almost makes me want to go buy one lol. Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted April 30, 2018 Author Super User Posted April 30, 2018 Healthy discussion. For clarification, I was talking more about finesse gear and baits than presentation. I also want to make a point that I don't finesse fish to try and give the fish some sort of sporting advantage. I do it because I get more bites and I have never had to excessively play a fish to get it landed.....well, the Snakehead I had to play a little more than normal? I am getting ready to head to St Clair for our 15th annual week long fishing trip and I can assure you there will be plenty of "Finesse" setups on the boat as well as wench reels spooled with piano wire. ?
