    This is an extension from the 'Picking Out New Baits' thread in which I said my wife and boy were bass bait shopping for my birthday.  They done good.

It is my first baitcaster. Is there anything I need to do to tune it and what not?

 

 

Good choice!  It is a great workhorse for sure.  :Victory:   I have mine on a frog rod and with the drag locked it is a BEAST.  

 

I'd probably just make sure to add a drop or so of oil on the handle side gearing...  Mine was pretty dry.  Also take a Q-tip and wipe a super thin coating of light reel oil on the brake race- that is the metal disc thingy on the inside of the brake cover that the brakes run along.  If it's completely dry it can get loud and screamy and nobody wants that.

Lake Fork Tackle Live Swimmin' Slug, gonna have to buy some. Got a sample and they catch fish like crazy. Dang monkey riding my back.

Just bought a Cabelas Pro Guide 7' heavy action casting rod and paired it with a Daiwa Lexa 100HS. Love it. Must attest to the sensitivity of this rod as even though it's a heavy action, I felt a 10 inch Cutthroat Trout take a crankbait. At the same time I don't feel like I would have to question the rod's strength if it comes down to pulling a hog out of heavy weeds.

A couple of back ordered Top shelf jig kickers came today.

They work like nothing else for smallies but largies too.They are finesse n wobble somewhat like a crank. Light wire. If you target 7 pound plus largemouth they won't hold up I don't think. 16$ a piece on TW...
