Re: Right or Left Handed Baitcaster

I used to cast right handed and switch the rod over each cast but as I've evolved as an angler I have taught myself to cast lefty and keep my retrieve with the right hand. do as you feel is comfortable... easiest thing. there is NO Right or wrong way... all what you like.

Just stick with regular braid Mark. the coated is hard to fish and does have the line twist element and is awful.

Re: Fishing under spins

Big Hammer swimbaits on the back of the swormin hornets have accounted for a LOT of winnings for myself the last 3 years. People think this is a "smaller fish" deal but it's all about the areas and timing for the big ones. :mrgreen:

Re: Favorite bait for up-sizing your bass?

I SWEAR by the swimjigs and other reaction baits all year round. in the colder months the bigger bass tend to chase a bait down more and its a BIG bass bait. Jigs and BIG worms/creatures are always best bets on bigger bass year round.

Irod 7' 1" Medium is a great rod for flukes styles and you can toss poppers and small TW nicely with this rod.

if you want to bump up in price, the IROD Air Series 6' 10" ML is money!!
