Credit: www.plusinno.com Data: Preferences Among Anglers A 2022 survey of 2,000 anglers in the United States found: 68% of right-handed anglers prefer left-handed reels for spinning 79% of right-handed baitcaster users still use right-handed reels, mainly out of habit 90% of left-handed anglers use right-handed reels for spinning Younger anglers (under 30) are twice as likely to use left-handed baitcasters compared to older anglers These numbers show that tradition and habit still play a big role, but more people are choosing reels that match their natural style
I think bass anglers will often use the same size bait and not adjust, just because a big topwater or larger swimbait is what they always use
Low-profile reels have a smaller frame and handle, making them much more comfortable to cast all day long
Traditional Wisconsin fish fry is beer battered, deep fried, & served with coleslaw & cozy carb like french fries, potato pancakes, or hashbrowns
Sometimes poppers are easy to use: Just stab firmly backwards with the rod to suddenly bring the lure forwards, shifting lots of water in the process and ideally making the BOOF! sound we topwater fishos love to see and hear
