000 fish hook Nako Power Flipping Hooks 5pk 2/0 The 510HD Steelhead Egg Hook features a heavy wire H2O Precision Jig

I fell in love with baitcasters at a young age while fishing off a friends boat

7' Medium Heavy Spinning Rod Specs SUGGESTED TECHNIQUES: Wacky Rigs, Texas Rigs, Weightless, All Purpose POWER RATING: Medium Heavy ACTION: Fast HANDLE LENGTH: 9.5" GUIDES: Sea-Guide tangle free 316 SS frames with Zirconium rings, Impulse rods proven mid-size guide train LINE RATING: 10 - 17 lb test LURE RATING: 3/8 - 7/8 oz TOTAL ROD WEIGHT: 4.1 oz or 117g REEL SEAT: XDPSM 17MM seat modified to increase blank exposure for the angler

The reel holds 165 yards of 50-pound braided line and I can still palm it in one hand while applying pressure to a big fish

By having 50lb-60lb it not only helps reduce lure loss but also helps land some of the monster fish we are targeting

It has the guts to handle much larger lures but its sweet spot seems to favor the lighter baits I think
