rowyourboat Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Hey guys, since i just started bass fishing a couple years ago and im young and poor lol, i dont exactly have a wide variety of rods & reels. But I was wondering if you guys could tell me what types of lures work well with which rod and reel combos. Combo #1 - Abu Garcia Silver Max Baitcaster on an Abu Garcia medium-heavy rod (6 foot 6 inches). Combo #2 - Quantum Tenacity AP Baitcaster on Quantum Tenacity medium rod (6 foot 6 inches) Combo #3 - Quantum Tenacity AP Spinning Reel on Quantum Tenacity medium action rod (6 foot) Combo #4 - Shamano R2000 spinning reel on Berkley lightning rod, medium heavy (6 foot) Combo #5 - Abu Garcia Cardinal 102 Reel on an Abu Garcia Cardinal 100 Rod, medium action (6 foot 6 inches) Also, Id like to have one combo for shaky head fishing and one for flipping in heavy cover and docks. sorry if its a dumb question, i just want to maximize what i hate. thanks guys!

Boogey Man Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Here's my picks: combo #1-single hook lures like spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, T-rigs. combo #2-crankbaits, topwaters (popper style, torpedo's), hard jerkbaits. combo #3 and #5-maybe shakey head or dropshot. combo #4-light t-rigs. Quote
