daiwa crankbait reel SL20LC3B Sealine SL-3B Line Counter and in combination with the new bail arm Daiwa BG3000 BG Saltwater Spinning

These lures create a lot of movement, which helps attract bass

We chose the 7 light-fast model partially due to popularity, and partially due to our range of testing weights

Lure selection : Rat lures are available in a wide variety of sizes and colours, but I would suggest getting a light coloured and a dark coloured rat in two sizes in order to give you the most flexibility

For a more erratic action, work the Savage Gear Soft Shine Glide 7" Glide Bait with a chop/twitch cadence, twitching your rod as if youre fishing a topwater to produce a walk-in-place action right below the surface

The key principle: your reel's drag system must have enough stopping power for your quarry species but remain smooth throughout the fight

This results in super smooth casting and fish-playing properties while ensuring maximum durability and longevity
