Rod/Line/Lure Selection

BassinFever · 03-12-08, 09:01 PM

Hi, Im new to this forum but find the info top notch. Im from Wisconsin and am anxiously waiting for the open water season. Ive been bass fishing for about 3 years now and am getting involved in some competitive circuts.

Ive acumulated 4 baitcasters and 4 spinning rods in the past years. Baitcasters: 1 7' M, 2 7' MH, 1 7' H. Spinning: 2 7' MH, 1 7' H, 1 7'6" ML.

I have 2 baitcasters spooled w/ 50# PP for frogs and pitching T' rigs in slop. As for the other rods, all need new lines for the upcoming fishing season.

What 8 lures would be best tied on and ready to go for tourneys... and as well as what lines and on which rods? Thx in Advance.. Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum!

Looks like you are pretty well set up for rods/reels. I'd set them up like this-not counting the 2 you already have set up with braid:

Baitcaster:
7' M-Crankbait. 12 lb mono or Fluoro
7' MH-weightless soft plastic like a Senko or Fluke. 12 lb mono or Fluoro

Spinning:
1 MH-small crankbaits, 8 lb mono
1 MH-suspending jerkbaits, 8 lb mono
1 H-shakey head, 30 lb PP, 8 lb fluoro leader
The ML would be my dropshot rod, 8 lb mono.

Instead of mono I use P-Line Floroclear. tough line that handles well.

Welcome to the Forum. I won't be much help with what rod for which tactics, but as for what to have tied on for Tourney's, I'll throw My opinion in there.

Crankbait, jig, soft plastics worm, soft jerkbait (like a fluke), Spinnerbait, and some type of topwater.
