You'd do well with light jigs too. I just used that rod for all my jigs.

10 to 12, 15 if the jig is heavy.

Alright guys, I'm at the age where I should be sending out applications. I already know what I'm doing as a career, Law Enforcement. But right now I just need to get a steady income. I'm looking at Dick's Sporting Goods and Gander Mountain, nobody at dick's knows anything about bass fishing and I'd love to help customers with their selections. Gander Mountain has better pay, but also has wannabe bass fishermen that think they know it all. Any advice?

I threw heavy jigs on the I had, I loved it.. I used 15lb on it. Sold it for a GL2 and a Crucial.

Upgrade one of those reels, try a Lews!

They are both good reels.

interesting.

I do that too! Works like a charm

an escalade? I thought those sucked. Aren't they like the Antix reel?

Hey man, I'm 16, where in NORVA? I'm in stafford.

I always use a black jitterbug.

thanks!

it's only my girlfriend that has a problem with the line, not me. I can cast it perfectly. No twists or circles. I throw deep rigs around heavy cover.

What are waders? Just kidding. Breathable ones.

explain more?

I'm getting there, i'm gonna get her a Daiwa Strikeforce LH, she can't use any of my baitcasters because i'm right handed. haha.

She uses a Pfluger Arbor reel, i can cast that reel without the line circling but as soon as she casts it circles on her.

well I don't have the issue.. The line flies off my CI4 like butter. Nice and smooth. But I might switch to 15lb

15 lb?

I've had guys with bass boats ask me about my how I fish on the water, I find it absolutely hilarious since I'm 16. I just know my river well. I think the most I've talked to a guy as about and hour and a half.

Just a preference of mine.

I have 18 combos, I bring 6 wherever I go fishing, my kayak holds 6 rods.

Thanks for the feed back, I choose to use 17lb line because fish heavily structured waters and If I snag a stick or branch I can haul it it without breaking my line or loosing my precious lures.

Also to my list, H&H spinnerbaits.

So I spooled my girl's spinning reel with 17lb Suffix Siege, almost every time she casts the line circles off the reel, I know it's not lure weight or line related as I do not have this problem. Originally she used the ez-cast trigger, which is what I thought the problem was, but when I told her not to use the trigger she still had the same problem ( it did occur less ) so now I took her reel and spooled it with 8lb Stren and I also took off the casting trigger so she makes a habit out of not using it. Hopefully it helps. She even used my Shimano Stradic and still had the problem. Anybody know what causes this? She casts similar to me but her hands are small, when she holds the line to make a cast, her finger is closer to the reel than the blank of the rod. Thanks to anyone who can help!
