Ever think maybe u just had a bad day ? I suggest a net also.

I know the feeling. I have a bad knee and numb feet.

Dobyns is what you need

I use nothing but baitcast.

Now I'll tell you how I do it. I fish it on a 1/5 oz. Zman shrooms head jig tied to 50 lb test Vicious No Fade Braid with no leader .the reel is a Lews custom lite baitcast. The rod is a dobyns Sierra micro guide 7-3 mh casting rod. I catch plenty of smallies and largies this way and 4 lbers too.

senko on outside weed edge or a yamatanuki. jerkbaits and spinnerbaits are good depending on their mood. deep cranks parallel to weeds are go especially with rock on outside edges.

Absolutely correct. Plus you don't need a massive hook set.

Vicious No Fade Braid

I haven't seen anything catalog wise.Allstar was a staple in my equipment at one point.

Didnt know that. Do they make rods comparable to what they were ? Do they compete well with today's top brands . I'd love to c them come back.

Lews custom lite shallow spool.

U da man!!!! Wow !!!!

Switch back.

They are junk now.

https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/lews-custom-xp-baitcast-combo I'd save up for this. 7 ft is the longest I get for on shore. If you catch your lure on a backcast your in for a mess.

5 something

Yup !!!!!

So if ur not getting bites on the straight braid does the leader make a difference with the same bait ?

Depends on the lures. Lipless cranks are the worst.i can be 50/50 with a huge fish on them. Since I've been using a net and not horsing them I've improved that. Big fish are the hardest to keep on. They didn't get big by being stupid.single hook lures I rarely loose them on. Overall I would say l land 90 percent in a season.

Trash the leader and fish straight braid.why on earth would u get rid of the braid. Line visibility is b.s. I've never seen line dig on a spinning reel. Use 20 lb quality braid and u should be fine. Don't pull on snags.wrap line around a 1 inch diameter wood dowel and pull. Also take the slack out before reeling in line by raising your rod tip. suggest Vicious no fade braid

spinning is a different animal. i use all casting. i get the swivel to eliminate line twist. line twist is one of the reasons i dont fish spinning anymore. anyway on baitcasting i dont use leaders. ive been fishing braid since the early 90s and dont believe bass are line shy. ive tried flouro plenty of times over the years and found no difference in bite rate. bad days are bad no matter what line you use. i have friends who use high vis braid with no leader and no markers and they outcatch guys with flouro. dont get me wrong it works both ways sometimes but its not because of the line. its because of fish mood and presentation. also a good 8 strand braid in 40 or 50 lb test has more than enough abrasion resistance. i dont worry about pickeral or pike biting it off as thats never happened to me even fishing lakes in canada that are loaded with pike. and as glenn may says the extra knot is just one more place for failure. if i wanted invisible line i would fish flouro for a main line and not a leader. and you cant beat the hookset of straight braid.with straight braid it takes just a snap of the wrist to set well.

Walleye are yummy

id trash the leader

great video. so many people try to whip it out there with their arm strength. its true that casting is all wrist.

Was thinking of trying pline no fade.
