Bass Brandon

I have no experience with this type of fishing in large bodies of water but I can definitely say I whole heartedly believe it works in the ponds I fish at, even with smaller fish in the 2lb range. Theres a story online that backs up this topic about the guy who caught the nj state record out of a farm pond, broke his line, went back to the same spot with heavier line and caught the fish

Angry beavers

Tried one of those jawbones from dicks for 2.99 yesterday. I usually go with spro or booyah, but these are my new favorite. They're cheap, eyes fell out weight came out but they get the job done nothing some split shots and superglue can't fix. My hookup ratio was 100 % no lie, maybe just lucky but if your just getting into froggin get a couple u won't be disappointed

I Wish I could have a bunch of setups but unfortunately I only have 4, with the advice from this thread I think I'll set them up a little differently to accomplish more on the water. Already doing great with that heavy rod frogging flipping and throwing big swimbaits. I think I can use my other setups to cover everything lighter with the right lines. thanks for the great advice all, appreciate the help

I really wanna try some copolymers but I'll have to order them online they don't even carry them where I live. Until then it'll be straight braid for me I like the feel and the waters only clear in the winter here. I will get some copolymer tho appreciate your post

It's an ugly stick tiger elite. caught a bunch of bass with it, next day caugt fluke and sea bass. Heavy enough for the swimbaits and cover but it's a spinning rod so u can still launch a senko in a pinch. I did wind up putting light braid on it thanks for the feedback fellas

Funny you say that bc I got the rod specifically bc i have a couple hudds I just purchased. I'm afraid I'll lose them on the occasional backlash I get on a bait caster. It's supposed to be a fresh/inshore salt transition rod so that might account for the confusion. I appreciate the input and also from you pabasser. Hoping the flexible tip enables me to launch the light stuff too when I want to just get a fish. took me awhile to find a rod I think could make the cut. Do either of you have a reccomendation for a fluoro to braid knot? I've had multiple failures with light lures on albertos

I'll take your advice bull and start with some green moss braid I've got laying around. I could use that setup out inshore saltwater fishing as well, its fluke season by me rn. Appreciate the feedback

I'm curious about more bass fisherman's opinions on a topic, if you had to choose one line for all applications would it be straight braid or fluoro. I'm talking clear water, muddy water, around structure, open water, weightless senkos, hollow frogs, to big swimbaits. I just purchased a MH power spinning rod rated for 3/4 to 4 ounce lures. I'm primarily a bank fisherman so I'm trying to use this rod alone to cover a lot of lure applications so I can go out quickly with one setup. Ild really appreciate some feedback on what yall think. What is your setup, if you use one rod for multiple applications? Also anyone recommend copolymer? I hear good things about pline cxx, I notice it comes in crystal clear, anyone used that?

I actually caught my first striper in cape may as a kid, small world a-jay

I've been using this site for awhile as a learning tool, seems like a lot of great info and good ppl. Lookin forward to expanding my bass fishing techniques and knowledge. only been freshwater fishing for 2 years. Willing to trade saltwater fishing knowledge for freshwater
