Rod- Cashion Elite: Reel- Shimano Ultegra 3000: Favorite Models: 7' Medium Light, 7'2" MH ShakyHead Casting Rod #1
For much of the Southeast, February is the month when bass shake off their winter slumber and reboot their brain
The reel features a quality 5-bearing system for smooth operation, solid brass Speed Gears precision cut on Hamai CNC machines, and Lews Magnetic Control System for accurate and controlled casting performance
Because the spool is located below the rod and the handle is attached to the back of the reel, spinning reels are generally easier to hold and operate, especially for beginner anglers
Daiwa has also packed in features such as Jog Power Lever, Magsealed bearings, and Daiwas custom ATD drag system, which provides smooth drag performance even at high drag settings
How To Fish Them : Use square-bill crankbaits around shallow cover (26 ft) early in the fall, then switch to medium-diving models (812 ft) as bass slide deeper later in the season
