Nice fish!

See a different doctor and schedule your procedure...pronto!

You missed "JK", just kidding.

Welcome aboard!

The Rig is too heavy or me to cast for hours. I prefer trolling. On the outside arms I like the LFT Live Magic Shad or Rage Menace. On the main wire (center) I rig a Rage Swimmer or Johnson Silver Minnow. On my best day I only caught one striper, the first of the day. My buddy followed up with 19! I was the "net boy". Most of our fish were 15-20 lbs, our big fish was 28.

When your PB smallmouth surges at the boat in current on the Tennessee River, a perfectly set drag is your best friend.

What are you planning to throw and target with the rig?

I like the 100 for a variety of applications, especially if you are casting. However, I have the 300 for trolling. https://fish.shimano.com/content/fish/northamerica/us/en/homepage/Shimano_Product_Page.P-CALCUTTA_CONQUEST_100-200_A.html

#1 presentation is the Alabama Rig.

Not an issue with any soft plastic.

Exposed hooks can be an issue. I think T-rigged, Texposed would be a better choice.
