daiwa bg saltwater spinning reel bg2500 medium light heavy Salt Water Combo, 8' in handle Daiwa 2016 BG2500 BG Spinning

Best For: Swim jigs and chatterbaits Frog fishing in sparse vegetation Precise flipping and pitching Sunline Siglon PEx8 Siglon PEx8 is all about smooth handling and distance

Plastics, hard baits, soft baits, spinnerbaits, jigs, surface lures, diving lures, etc

To target bass on the surface I prefer to use an 8wt fly rod (although a rod 6 to 9wt will do) with a light small capacity reel and a floating line

This means they will cast poorly when you use modern bass lures weighing 20g

Guys will swim swim jigs through shallow cover, stroke jigs on ledges offshore, drag football jigs on structure, or pitch flipping jigs into shallow cover to catch fish
