Jwmcnett Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Trying to get advice and personal preferences on swimbaits set ups. I have a few already but wanting to get more also changing from just big baits to small paddle tails. I've been trying to figure out what gear ratios are best. Please tell me what you like and for what style and size baits. Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Frog Man Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 For bigger stuff I use- Daiwa Z-6.4:1 for topwater and other 9" baits Daiwa pluton 5.1:1 and 6.1:1 soft baits and everything else For smaller paddle tails- Zebco 202 2.1:1 BASS_SWINGER and natalex85 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppabass Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Small ptail or keitech is best fished with a medium light spinning rod with small trout spinning reel with a 10 lb braid to 12 lb fluoro rig. Bottom bounce 1/4 jig head and drop off weed edges...I like my Powell rods, but medium to light ugly sticks will work too. Arkie sells gold heads and i I bought a giant bag of em. You can touch em up to to make hook super sharp. Edited May 5, 2017 by bigpoppabass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
