Dirty jigs Matt Allen swimbait head

Not my favorite but they will get thd job done

Location, location, location, TIME ON THE WATER

Highly recommend the daiwa tatula ct or a daiwa fuego ct. The fuego ct is basically the same reel as the tatula ct without the tws levelwind system.

Picked up two of the new daiwa fuego CT's last week. These reels are basically the same reel as a tatula ct without the TWS system and they are $30 cheaper. Love the matte black finish as well. Good reel for $99

I use a Fenwick hmg medium moderate fast 7'2" for all of my shallow cranking needs.

Gotta have a spinning rod

Trilene xl

Berkley power grubs

Been fishing a dobyns fury 702 since December, love it

Jigs, 1/16oz crappie size jigs, crankbait, jerkbait

Frog

12lb trilene xl or stren original

Put thumb on spool and pull straight back Spinning reel palm the spool and pull straight back. I don't use fluoro for anything but had a friend who used it and it kept breaking in random spots

Been using xl since the beginning, have no reason change.

I have bought about a 10 rods from tackle warehouse and never had an issue.

Throwing spooks in mid to upper 40 degree water and catching 5- 6lbers

Mono is way underrated

Stren or trilene

I have tried both and really cant say I've seen a difference. If im worried about abrasion resistance around rock I would just fish straight mono or fluoro

Make sure the spool is sitting properly on the shaft before tightening the drag knob

they cast better than the bill lewis and they flat out catch fish

I held a spinning model and was not impressed.

never had an issue with xl or stren original.
