baitcasting rod bass ft Daiwa Tatula 641LFB-BF (Baitcasting 2 piece / Grip joint) Lightweight and Precision Rod and Fishing Reel Combo Tailwalk FULLRANGE C70M/G Baitcasting Rod

For starters, these are great baits when bass are schooling, especially offshore over deeper water

The actual serial number is #10860

Bottom dropper rigs are excellent for fishing waters with current, especially rivers and streams for trout, salmon, smallmouths, and walleyes

Advanced Braided Lines I spent the first couple of decades of my fishing life using monofilament exclusively, not because I couldnt afford fluorocarbon or braid but because I didnt know they existed

When fishing with bait you run a higher risk of hooking the bass in the gut, so if you plan to release fish you should pinch down the barbs on hooks

Moreover, the drag is smooth so it gives you less friction all the way
