What Is The Optimal Setup For My Confidence Baits?

Featured Replies

Below I have a list of the baits that I am most confident in. I would like for you to give me the rod/reel/line for each lure. Not specific rods, but you can add that if you want. I am mostly looking for specs like gear ratio and line type. I think rods and reels should be matched to baits not baits to rods. Thanks!

 

Confidence Baits

 

Ned Rig - Usually fished on the fall, mostly in clear water during the spring.

 

Drop Shot - I usually drag or shake a small worm in clear water in 15' - 25'.

 

Finesse Texas Rig - Usually hopped off bottom with a 1/8 oz bullet weight, 1/0 hook, and Zoom Finesse Worm

 

Finesse Swimbait -  Usually reeled in 3' with a 3.8” Keitech, 3/0 EWG, and an 1/8 oz Bullet Weight.

 

Finesse Swim Jig - Usually fished near docks and cover, but not in it. Light wire hook, mostly 1/4 oz.

 

Walking Bait - I mostly fish the Ima Skimmer (3/8oz). Looking to get another Whopper Plopper too.

 

1/4 oz Spinnerbait - Used near cover and docks. I like 1/4 oz because it runs shallow. I prefer double willow.

 

Soft Swimbait - Used in grass, 3/16 oz Superline Screwlock hook and 4.8" Keitech

There's only about 3 rods in all of those lineups. Your making things too dificult. 7Ft mh casting, 7ft m casting, 6'9-7'6 ml, spinning rod.
