brown braided fishing line - 300 Yards - No Fade, Pro Grade Performance for Reaction Tackle Standard Braided Fishing Line

Swimbaits For the small shad swimbaits, I primarily use Keitech Fat Swing Impact and Easy Shiner plastics in the 3-4" sizes

Rock bass are the true transition from the panfish version of sunfish to the bass species

A lower gear ratio provides more torque, making it easier to reel in larger fish, while a higher gear ratio allows for faster retrieval of lures

Your situation and the conditions will dictate which one is best

Throw heavy swimbaits for trophy bass, work large bucktails for musky and pike, cast big topwater plugs for explosive strikes, fish heavy jigs around structure, or target saltwater gamefish with confidence
