Buzzbaits and spinnerbaits :
With buzzbaits and spinnerbaits , you will be
to inhale the bait before you set the hook . These baits use a single hook , allowing you to put more pressure on the fish during the fight so a
to cast the lure accurately .
Crankbaits and topwater lures :
As spinnerbaits , crankbaits and topwater lures
Worms and jigs : you get accustomed to the bait you ' re using , a
digging into the mud then you know you are in
As worm fishing varies from east to west , this example will be for fishing small worms 4 to 6 inches , and smaller finesse jigs in water from 5 to 60 feet deep .
When fishing deep water , the two most larger baits . A 6- to 6 1 / 2-foot rod is more accurate , so you have to adjust the rod length to the type of fishing you do . Crankbait and topwater rods should be made of fibreglass ,
before you set the hook . The treble hooks on crankbaits and topwater lures can dislodge if you apply too much pressure . The added flex of a fibreglass rod will keep the hooks from coming
rod has enough backbone to get a good hook set and flexible enough to cast the lure you are and weight is important because you will be holding the rod up in the 9 to 10 o ' clock
Use a 6 1 / 2- to 7 1 / 2-foot rod , depending on your preference and type of structure you are fishing . I prefer a 6 1 / 2-footer when fishing 20 to 60 feet deep , and a 7 1 / 2-footer when fishing 5 to 20 feet deep . Graphite rods are lighter , more sensitive and faster than most fibreglass rods . You want a fast rod with a medium backbone to get a good , fast , hook set . It is important to have a soft enough tip to maintain tension on the fish at all times .
