ambassadeur blue max baitcasting reel Pure Fishing Brands: Abu Garcia Baitcast Combos The heritage continues with the new C3 fishing reel Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Blue Yonder

So I would say my main bait for covering water is a Greenfish Tackle Toad Toter Buzzbait with a Zoom Horny Toad

A proven fall favorite is the old-school Pencil Popper, which combines the surface disturbance of a popper with the enticing walk-the-dog action of a spook-style bait

However, it gives a superb performance on the water

Spincast reels in the 3.0:1 to 4.0:1 gear ratio range are great for bait fishing or slow-moving bass tactics such as worm or jig fishing, and the reels with a 5.1:1 gear ratio can handle most bass fishing applications except are too slow for high-speed techniques such as buzzing a buzzbait, waking a spinnerbait, or burning square-bill crankbaits.

The flapper-style trailers, such as the Strike King Rage Craw or Menace and Zooms Speed Craw or Z-Craw, are go-tos for working swim jigs sub-surface
