What if?
you could get a freshwater baitcaster that you could adjust speed similar to these,

Good concept indeed, I know allot of salt water guys who use these. I think they could do well in the bass world once people got past their baits toward it:
1: They'd be heavy, and people would steer away from them 2: They couldn't be as low profile as other reels due to the extra hardware 3: People wouldn't by them thinking their'd be just more stuff on it break/fail I'm sure they'd be versatile, and fine performers as well!

That's why we carry TWENTY rods and reels. Heck with switching speeds on a reel, just buy two identical rods, same reel with different gears and all you do is put one down and pick the other up. Problem solved.
I also would not, as your example suggests, use the same rod for burning a trap AND crawling a jig, but that's me. I do have identical cranking rods for traps, one with a 7.1 and the other a 6.3. That is the beauty of owning a bass boat with HUGE rod lockers. It will be an adjustment for me, not having the big boat any more but I'll manage. |
