It’s that time of year to start mentally tweaking my Bass fishing technique’s setups. I would be interested in all of your thoughts and ideas on what setups you have all found to work the best for you.. I will start this post with my current setups:
Crankbaiting – 7’ St. Croix crankbait rod – Medium action. Abu Garcia Revo Stx reel. Berkley Sensation 10Lb. test line – This setup works great for open water crankbaiting. However it is far too soft it any weed ripping is needed.
Jig and Pig – 7’ Kistler LTX rod – Heavy action. Shimano Curado reel. Power Pro 40Lb. test line. – This setup work excellent for most all my jig fishing needs.
Jig Worm – 7’ Kistler LTX rod – Medium extra fast action. Shimano Symetre 2500 reel. Berkley Vanish gold color 10 Lb. test line – Excellent Setup.
Texas rig worm –#1. 6’6 St. Croix Avid rod – Med. Heavy fast action. Shimano Curado reel. Berkley Fireline 10 lb. line #2. 7” Fenwick HMG – Med Heavy fast action rod. Shimano Symetre 2500 reel. Berkley Vanish gold color 10 Lb. test line – Fish setup #1 if water color allows it – Fish # 2 if water ultra clear.
Drop shotting – #1 Jig worm setup listed above. #2 G-Loomis 6’6 Medium fast action rod. Shimano Curado reel. Berkley Fireline Crystal 10 lb. line. Setup #2 if water color allows it. #1 if water ultra clear.
Dock Skipping – #1 6’ 3 St. Croix Legend Elite rod. Medium extra fast action. Shimano Symetre 2500 reel. Berkley XL 8lb. test line #2 6’6 Fenwick HMG medium fast action rod. . Shimano Symetre 2500 reel. Berkley Fireline 10 lb. line.
