  1. Most of the time I dont use any spool tension. Sometimes I'll tighen it up if I need to throw it straight out or under some limbs.
  2. Let me rephrase the question please. -For the super fluke rod/reel setup: What rod length, power and action should I use? What reel ratio is best for this lure? What fishing line should I use (ie. Mono 12 pound, flouro 14 pound, braided 6 pound, etc)? -For the super Spook top water lure rod/reel setup: What rod length, power and action should I use? What reel ratio is best for this lure? What fishing line should I use (ie. Mono 12 pound, flouro 14 pound, braided 6 pound, etc)? I hope these are easy questions. Thanks in advance guys!
  3. Hey Guys and Gals! I’m kinda new to bass fishing so I’m in the learning phase. I really like the Duckett rods. I mainly fish on an 8 acre pond here in SC. Most of what I catch are 1 pounders but the pond does have some 10 pounders in it. I caught a 6 pounder a couple weeks ago. I’m trying to get a rod set up for each lure I have the most luck with, ie. White super fluke, ¾ oz super spook. So here are my questions… -For the super fluke rod/reel setup: What Duckett rod should I use? What reel ratio is best for this lure? What fishing line should I use (ie. Mono 12 pound, flouro 14 pound, braided 6 pound, etc)? -For the super Spook top water lure rod/reel setup: What Duckett rod should I use? What reel ratio is best for this lure? What fishing line should I use (ie. Mono 12 pound, flouro 14 pound, braided 6 pound, etc)? Thanks and if I have left out some important detail please let me know.
  4. Hello! My wife and I bought a house on an 8 acre pond in April here in South Carolina. I grew up doing a lot of cat fishing but I'm now trying to learn about bass fishing. When we first bought the house, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a few rod and reels. ie. Zebco 33's. I have caught a fair number of 1 pounders. I decided a couple weeks ago to start buying some nicer equipment so I bought a 6'-6" All-star MH rod and a Shimano Curado 200E7 reel. I like that setup a lot! This past weekend I purchased a couple Boyd Duckett rods and Bass Pro reels online. So I'm starting to build up some nicer equipment. I caught a nice 6 pounder a couple weeks ago on the newer setup. I want to learn more about what size rod to use for the different baits, and what fishing line is best for those different baits. I'll be sure to ask these questions in other sections of your forum. Well that is a little about me. Thanks for having me here...I'm ready to learn and contribute if possible.
