Pulling crankbaits, minnow rigs, or other trolling setups requires a rod soft and forgiving enough to cushion light or braided lines while preventing missed or lost fishparticularly important given the papery thin mandibles of crappies

This control is especially important when fighting larger fish, as it helps maintain the necessary tension to prevent the fish from escaping

The best solution from years of experience fishing across Louisiana's coast is to use a mono backer

boats move

10lb backing & FG knots at both ends of the braid (the practice is always good & no tag ends)

You can buy it at Willy's fish shop on the pier
