Cantcatchbass

i have watched his eliminator video

Interesting how they say the daiwa has oversized gears which are different from the exceler but lots of people say they are the same but maybe it’s just some marketing sceme?

The trout guys here in nb are insane ,once there was a guy asking for bass fishing tips for nb on Facebook a trout guy lied and say the government just passed a law to kill all bass and the dude who was asking believed it but good thing some guy told him the real regulations later on which were 2bass from 12in to 24inches and from July 1st to sept 15

Here Smallmouth bass get tons of hate from trout and salmon anglers and they often take it to far with using bass illegaly as bear bait or just wasting them.Does anyone else have this problem in their state or province

Boaters getting near shore for no reason at all

Do you think the gears on the eliminator is strong enough?

Been looking around on $99 spinning reels and I found the Daiwa eliminator and daiwa exceler the most interesting reels but i have some concerns about both the first one being on the eliminator it has a giant spool with such a small gear and i worry the gears might wear out quickly by just reeling as this has happen before on my reels with a heavy spool(if you don’t know what gear im talking about its the one under the main gear which makes the spool go up and down) the second concern is on the exceler which has a carbon frame and i think it might break under heavy load when striper fishing.Which one do you guys think i should get and why

Always reel and twitch and keep the slack ,most people think they need alot of slack they don’t reel and the bait just goes forwards

Thanks guys for the very helpful answers,my follow up question would be would playing drag on a baitcaster damage the gears?i heard something like this on tackle advisors

Im not concern about line digging in but im more concern about strength of line and how use light line on a baitcaster to not break off

I used to use some 50lb line to catch smallmouth but now i have ran out of braid and am switching to 10lb mono while waiting for new braid,my question is how do you fish with light line on a baitcaster for smallmouth and possibly muskie?btw i am fishing a mix of cover and jigs and moving baits on this set up

They don’t say it’s made of magnesium

So over the past few years magnesium has really gotten famous but is it really stronger than graphite or is it just scam?

How about a popper because it can stay out of the weeds longer and i doubt there are any smallmouth in the weeds

Yes my second favourite is lipless
