It’s a technique in which you use a light jighead ( I use gama 211 typically 1/16oz) and a shad type worm (I use a gambler shakey shad). When the bait hits the water start retrieving when it reaches your desired depth, and while retrieving constantly shake the line slack to make the bait have a “rolling action”. The key is to keep your line as slack as possible while shaking. This really isn’t a bottom contact thing so you don’t need to let it sink to the bottom but you do need to be mindful of what depth you’re bait is swimming. Good luck man!

I’m just a bank fisherman but the mid-strolling technique has been really effective lately! I almost never hear people talk about this finesse technique but I highly recommend you guys to try it too!

I’m planning to try 6in and 8in swimbait for bass this year in California but to physically go to California from here, I need to get on a plane. So is there any nice travel or 2pc swimbait rods that you guys know? The only one I could find so far is the Okuma Nomad Xpeess.

843C MBR

Just got my new E6X MBR yesterday. I’m primarily a bank fisherman so I thought the MBR would be a great all-around rod. I feel like this rod will do fairly nice for any application, though I think it takes time to get used to. Any tips for how to do anything differently for the MBR than specific application models? (Ex: set the hook harder on Texas rig on MBRs)

I’m considering buying Megabass Levante on perfect pitch paired with Shimano Curado 200K for jigging/small frogging/flipping, but do you think the rod is too light for flipping/small frogging? I’m considering spooling up with 50lb braid.
