dolphin diver fishing hook Harmony – Flex Keeper Flipping Hooks (10 Pack) – Bass Fishing Flippin Cover Hooks | Adjustable Flexible Bait Keeper | Epoxy Sealed Eye | HCS Dobyns D-Swim Jighead Extra Long

In weedy areas, Id spin it around and basically Texas-rig it to avoid getting hung up

I dont pretend to have the reflexes of a world-class athlete or the fishing skills of an Elite Series pro, so I depend on the best baitcasting rods for bass to help me make the most of every day on the water and Im picky

Most unweighted soft plastics are almost neutrally buoyant, or a very slow sink rate making the intentional pause incredibly effective

Something like 20lb breaking strain is best

Best for: Bass & pike flies, long-bodied dry flies, bead flies, poppers

That bait was supposed to catch a snook or a red fish but a huge trout ate it instead
