5000 saltwater spinning reel HM Fishing Metal Spool 8KG Max Drag Metal Handle Freshwater Reel (1000) : Sports & Outdoors A true glutton for punishment Daiwa Saltiga Spinning Reel -

Pumping the rod every few feet to create a darting action is recommended

I have a Penn Star Drag 40 (with reel clamp not shown) and a Tranx 500hg with tiburon clamp

What started as a way to build tougher, stronger and bigger lures for striped bass, bluefish and red drum, turned into an art and even a business for the most talented builders

Next, switch to slower moving reaction baits to pick off the remainder of the aggressive bass

Bay Area Comments: The net is awesome for fish that don't weigh much, but when you bring in good greenies over 4-5 lbs and the handle is extended - 9 times out of 10 it will bend - and good luck getting it back right to where it will extend and retract easily
