I have gotten at lesat 10 times the value of my purchase from my Bass Casting. Bass Casting has completely surpassed my expectations.
Would this casting rod/reel combo take the fun out of bass fishing?
I am planning on getting a shimano crucial rod 6'6" medium power Bass Casting with a shimano curado reel. I plan on putting 40 pound spiderwire braid on the reel, i was told not to go lower than 40pound braid because any lower the line cuts through the spool causing backlashes. if anybody can verify that for me i would appreciate it. thanks.

after waking up they are starving and as a school they hunt the water they are in for a school of smaller fish, shad, shiners and minnows, basically what we call bait balls. The colors of what’s in your water like the shad and minnows is what color you should throw at them. Fact is, all bass will herd their food when they can, into an area where they can’t get away like against a cliff, a narrow down or up into a bay then they just they pick them off one at a time. All the baits listed are great but color, size and the speed you retrieve is critical early in the morning. I would start by casting and burning (I figure only the bigger bass can keep up) if no bites slow down the retrieve a little if after four tries and four speeds (that’s 16 casts) change your bait size and color and repeat.

Where to look- Where turbulent and smooth surface water meet.Look for underwater structure such as a tree, or dock pile ons,… fish under and around the docks.Look for shady area’s in the daytime.If you can see where the underwater ground drops off into deeper water, fish that area.If you see a nest or hole in the ground under water, fish in and around them.Bait-Stick a golfball sized cheesy garlic dough ball out there a few times on a 2/0 or 3/0 hook and see what happens.Split a perch in half and put it on a hook and see what happens.Or just use the head, or side of a perch and see what happens.If you don’t get a bite after 15 minutes, use a fresh piece of bait.I like the Broke back shad as a lure.

You’ll be very happy with a baitcasting setup after you get used to it. I find myself using them easily 95 percent of the time. I always recommend Abu Garcia and the Quantum setups myself. I’ve owned and used both for a very long time and have had great luck with them.For Abu Garcia I like the Revos best. They are pricey but they are one of the best baitcasting reels on the market at this time in my opinion. They have a few different Revo series. I like the STX Revos a lot. They are great for fishing bigger baits and baits which require you to throw into heavy cover, like jigs but I also fish lighter tackle on them as well.Another Abu Garcia reel that is over looked by many are the Black Max series reels. These are lower end reels but they are solid. I own 2 of them and use them frequently. I believe these reels are only around 50 bucks now. If nothing else you can get one of these to get a feel for the baitcasting reels.As Far as Quatum goes I like the Kevin Van Dam series. Again, some of these are a little pricey but well worth the money. Most of the time you are much better off saving up for a truly nice reel rather than going for the cheaper reels. You’ll find yourself spending a load of money on cheap reels through the years due to them breaking down on you if you’re not careful.Edit: I forgot to mention the ratios. Normally a 6.4:1 is the best all around ratio. You can fish about anything with this ratio, it’s very versatile. If you fish a lot of baits which require you to “burn” them across the water pretty fast you can up the ratio a bit. The ratios in the 7 range will allow you to do this much easier than a lower ratio.

It depends on what lakes are your primary lakes. If you see yourself on bigger lakes mostly go for the deep v. For alot of musky fishing though, you’ll find yourself near the shores, so most likely a bass boat would be good. My friend and I use his bass boat for the last 5 years and we haven’t had a problem with bigger lakes yet. Like I said though, unless we go across the lake, we stick to shore. I like the versatility of the bass boat, especially in the upper midwest with the lower water levels the last few years. With the two of us, there’s enough room for all the tackle, beverages of choice, and extra rods as well.Good luck in either purchase though…

I recently bought a Shimano, but have been using mainly Quantum. A good solid baitcasting reel will run close to $200, but you can buy better for closer to $400 and lesser good ones for around $100…they do fine as well.

Turn up the brake till you don’t backlash. Then as you fish backlashless loosen the brake a little every now and then until you start running into problems again and then tweak the brake tighter.If you are casting light baits into the wind you are bound to have problems. This is one reason why I like to musky fish because if you need to cast into a wind you just tie one a 8 oz jerkbait or crank and cast away. Then when I want to cast downwind I may change to a bucktail.

I have caught more bass from a canoe than from anything else. You can be quieter in a canoe. 30-60 ft. out is plenty. My biggest two bass ( 8 and 10 lbs.) were caught on a firetiger spinnerbait my daughter gave me for fathers day one year. The blades are painted orange and chartreuse. Very ugly lure, but just before dark, those large bass try to kill it. Both were caught near old rotten docks with a few logs just under water nearby

personally I prefer to use baitcasters for bass fishing. The thing I like about them is the fact that you can use a lot stronger line and still have the good castability. Also, you have a lot less line twist and less brasion on the line being pulled through the bail on your spincast reels. However, I do have a couple of spincast that I like to use for pitching into heavy cover where a high precision cast is neccesary to keep from getting hung up on something. Both reels have their advantages. I like to make sure I can take advantage of both.

Generally, any reel you find for 100 bucks and up is going to be a very good reel. Without knowing what you fish for and what not, it’s a little hard to reccomend a specific reel.As I always suggest on here to people, check out Abu Garcia and Quantum reels. These are both very reputable companies that make excellent quality products. I’ve always had great luck with Abu Garcia. They’re top of the line reel at the moment is the Revo. There’s a few different Revo series, all are very nice. As for Quantum, I don’t currently have any of their reels but I have used them a lot in the past. Again, I’ve been very happy with them. They have a few Kevin Van Dam series reels, which I believe is their best quality reel at the moment. I bought my Dad one of these a while back and had to use it a bit before hand lol. It was one of the smothest reels that I have ever used, possibly even smoother than the Revos. Regardless, you’ll be very happy if you choose one of these reels.Edit: I’ll also add that you don’t have to spend 100+ bucks for a decent reel. You can do a bit of research and look around and find pretty solid reels for 70 or so dollars, maybe even cheaper if you happen to find one on sale. For the best baitcasting reels, you will be looking at 100+ dollars.

reels don’t go on “poles” they go on rods. That being noted, it would depend on what type of baits that designated rod is going to be used for. Reels have small spools, bigger line capacity, fast retrieves, flipping switches, anti backlash gearing and dials so each type of bait is covered as best can be by the manufacturers capabilities. If you knew a little more about bass fishing you would be able to say what kind of actual use you planned on with this rig. Then and only then could a properly thought of and good answer be given. Add some info.

Get the trigger rod ONLY if you’re experienced in using baitcasters. If not, you’ll be better off will the spinning rod.But… should you choose the trigger rod either way, good. With a castng outfit, you’ll be able to cast farther with more accuracy and handle heavier lines. Drags are also built better and handle pretty much any size fish better than any spinning reel. Baitcasters tend to come in several different gear ratios which means they can horse and pull fish out of thick vegetation faster and easier if you want. Also, ’cause there’s no bail to flip over, you only need to give the handle a quick turn to start working your lure, although a lot of spinning reels have that auto-bail-flip built in.
