Dylan101 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I am just a beginner swimbaiter and I want to throw 1-2 oz swimbaits. Will I need to get a huge magnum heavy beefy rod and reel for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Nope! Use a heavy flipping stick first to see if swimbaiting is really for you. Then look into an Irod Jr. Swim or Dobyns Fury 795. If it's a go from there start saving up because you'll want to throw bigger and bigger baits on heavier gear in the future. Welcome to SU!

CaliBassin Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I would also recommend a flipping/frogging rod but if you want more taper which I prefer, go with a mag cranking rod rated up to 1-2 ounces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassing305 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I throw 1-4 ounce swimbaits on inshore spinning rods/size 4000-5000 spinning reels...the same rods I use to catch +40'' inch snook which fight much harder than any largemouth bass alive. As for swimbait bass fishing look at my avatar picture of the 9.97 pound bucketmouth I caught this way. Have caught other big bass with these inshore rods so it is safe to say you can throw 1-2 ounce swimbaits on most decent heavy action rods these days. blackdynamite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
