special order st croix rod St. GXR Walleye Spinning Combo Introducing St St. Croix TRIS70HF Triumph Inshore

On my previous post I covered the characteristics of what I feel are the best fly rods for smallmouth bass

They were fantastic with lighter baits, up to about 1/2 ounce, but when it came to flipping, frogging, Whopper Ploppers, fishing spinnerbaits, swim jigs, and buzzbaits on heavier braid around thick cover, I would put the old Speed Spools down and switch to either the Lews SuperDuty or something like the Shimano Curado the bear the load

Note where large schools of bait are present, as stripers will not be far behind

The BOOYAH One Knocker has a single large tungsten sound pellet that thuds from side to side

Repeat with the other end, wrapping in opposite direction and passing it up through the center hole
