In golf it’s so important to have the right club for the right shot. It’s no different in bass fishing or any fishing really. For big swim baits having the right rod reel line and hardware it massively critical. Learned the hard way fishing the Huddleston’s. Just needed to be able to lean back and drive those hooks hard. Keep the fish pinned and win the battle lol. OMG what fun that is. Great video dude.
ahhh...it all makes sense now. I knew a guy who broke off a hinkle, and immediately went home and got his scuba gear looking for it. didn't find it, but eventually dredged it luckily with a lipless crankbait. Now that I just started getting into swimbaits, I know why.
As a fellow bank beater I'd love to hear your thoughts on shorter rods for glides. A lot time due to trees it's hard to fish above a 7'6" been messing around with st Croix's premier musky rods. Just curious what you go with in these situations
I think it's a subject that's pretty unspoken when it comes to swimbaits is throwing 3 oz and under swimbaits with limited cast room. I think there is a ton ppl like me that are lucky to get couple hours to get out and still want to target bigger swimbait fish with the less then ideal conditions
I'm currently fishing a Dobyns Fury 806 sb for both glides and soft plastics. Ive definitely noticed the tip being too stiff for the trebles, but luckily it doesn't seem too severe
@@crazybassfisher The 795sb is moderate fast while the 806 is just fast. It's still more parabolic than some of my other fast action rods, but not as much as I'd like
That SU package made me jelly been trying to get my hands on a couple SU bait wraps, have $1000+ maybe more in swimmers and straight trash storage. Thanks for the info on the rods been using a 7'6 med heavy vendetta for 2-4oz baits just didnt know what rod was best for me i do now tho ill be pulling the trigger on a LDC or leviathan. loved the info man still waiting for the double rig vid ;)
@@crazybassfisher yeah man I disgust myself just have killer baits stacked on top of each other in big old Plano. Can't wait for that video man been messing around with a few baits that I think could work on your rig.
I used to do a lot of beachcasting, before I got really into lure fishing, and when casting we always use a shock leader at a rate of 10lbs per Oz weight. Perhaps if casting a really big lure on 20 or 30 lbs line a shock leader would be good idea.
I fish a Phenix M1 inshore series 8’2 rated for lures 3-8oz. Perfect with a K9 and tosses a jawjackin bait soft bait pretty damn well also. Pretty perfect to handle treble hook baits and solid enough to fish medium sized soft baits
Another great video bro! Ive been looking to get into the swim bait game and buying cheaper gear to start. I normally don’t buy the high end stuff anyway. But i was going to start with the dobyns fury 7’9 swimbait MH fast. 1-5oz. Throwing 6-8 inch baits soft and hard. Paired with a piscifun phantom. It has good reviews for the price point. Plus the colors match and it looks dope! The budget is around $200-$250 max. Should i consider another rod or reel?
Hey there! I’ll be headed to Prescott valley this weekend to visit some family. Is there any good ponds or lakes to fish? Last time sucked, lol. I’ll be bank fishing
I mean, they do make different styles of muskie rods kind of like swimbait rods. Some rods are more designed to be softer to fish bucktails and some rods are designed to be stiffer to fish big rubbers. The tranx 300 is super universal though!
I was thinking of getting a Dobyns 806HSB or waiting on the swimbait rod from St Croix. I don’t fish swim baits exclusively just got into it. I mainly fish bass tournaments. What’s your recommendation? I have some S Wavers, Huddleston , mega bass etc…
i have a st croix mojo bass swimbait rod its awsome and good you can throw really anything up to 3to 3 1/2 ounces not really up to 4 but since your a tournament angler i would think you arent throwing the huge stuff, i think itll be good for you. also its sweet spot is in the 2 ounce range
