Im curious :

[PABassman]

What Kind of Rod setup is needed for these New Large Swimbaits (you know the expensive ones ) ?

If a Lure Costs $50 + ( I just seen a new one thats coming out that costs $80) what kind of setup is needed for these large baits ?

I dont have any , but im curious ?
Would I buy one , probaly not ... would I like to use one if I had the chance , yes i would .... but I cant see spending $50 + on 1 lure .....

This is what im using:

- Okuma Big Bait Special 7’11” X-Heavy Rod
- 25lb Moss Green Berkley Big Game Line
- Shimano Calcutta Conquest 400 TE Reel
- Huds, Rago Baby Tools, BBZ’s, 9” Ospreys & 8” Bass Harrassers

- Okuma Big Bait Special 7’11” Heavy Rod
- 25lb Moss Green Berkley Big Game Line
- Shimano Calcutta 400 TE Reel
- MS Slammers, Mission Fish, Raptors, Basstrix, Castaic Platinums, & 7-8” Ospreys

- Daiwa Heartland Special 7’9” X-Heavy Rod
- 20lb Moss Green Berkley Big Game Line
- Shimano Calcutta 300 TE Reel
- Bettencourt Trout, Rago rats, All Matt Lures baits, & 6” Bass Harrassers


Any other questions, just ask. Ive been throwing swimbaits for over 10 years, and have learned quite a bit in that time.

I would say a heavy action rod something that can handle the weight of the bait and a round baitcaster spooled with some braided line would work. I dont toss them.

We were down at the ICAST convention last week and saw some of those $50 lures. I don't think I could fish with them. I would cuss/cry too much when I lost one.
