Brother Jorrick, a good spinning combo is a necessity, whether it's for smaller inlines to jerkbaits and topwaters...or for me today, I used a Japanese style rock fishing 2 piece 8'3" spinning that is incredibly versatile, with an old school 2013 Daiwa Certate 2510R-PE 4.8 gear ratio and essentially straight 16lb YGK SS112 braid. The lipless that did most of the damage today is a translucent Sexy Shad 3/8 oz Spro Aruku shad. The 3/8 oz Sexy Shad squarebill was tossed on my Evergreen Heracles EG Swimming & Ian tuned custom Steez Limited 105SV with a 2019 Morethan PE spool with 40lb YGK X8 UPGRADE + 15lb Tatsu leader.
It took me several hours and checking out four locations to scratch out two bites on this cold NNW windy day...I finally found a protected cove with about 5-7 fow and some clean emerging grass. When I started fouling up on my spinnerbait, I immediately went to a 3/4 oz Duel Hardcore Vibe 75S in craw color and she hit within a half dozen casts. This bass was very strong, stayed down nearly the entire fight and just bull-doggged.
Christened the Twin Power FE 3000XG this morning...paired with a Daiwa BLX 6'10" ML Limber + 10lb Phenix Rods braid + 10lb Gama Polyflex mono. Old school Team Daiwa popper in one of my favorite colors, that is also very unique and effective.
