shimano clarus swimbait rod Casting Rods – Tackle World Shimano Clarus F Casting Rods

If Im looking to burn my bait back to the boat Ill use the high-speed retrieve reel, but if the bass want the bait just crawled along the bottom, just moving fast enough to put off some vibration, Ill use the lower-speed gear ratio reel

Bass are curious and will come to investigate a sound, but actual minnows arent generally rattling as they swim around

Id find a solid fish and build off of it, and then go to another area and do the same thing.
