TOP GEAR REVIEWS! THE BEST FISHING GEAR REVIEWED FOR YOU BY OUR EXPERTS THE BEST HOOKS, THE TOP BOBBERS,THE FINEST FLOATER AND EVERYTHING ELSE. The Outdoor Life Tackle Test team rolled into the Deep South loaded to the gills with a collection of 26 reels and 32 rods, ready to face the large- mouths and redfish of Venice, La. Undertaking our most comprehensive rod and reel assessment to date, we made thousands of casts and fought dozens of fish looking for every strength and weakness in our bass gear. Here are the best rods of the test. PECHE SUD ROD AND REEL It’s a bait trap, it can be used for fishing Tarpon, Bar- racuda, Pargo, Jack. We always use first when we are prospecting for a new area. It can be used for trolling in waters ranging from 4 to 15 feet or above coral struc- tures. It is also launched very well edge, the reflections of this lure are unmatched especially with the new 3D effect of the F978. We chose the size 5 “1/4 to get maxi- mum visibility and weight during windy conditions. The benefit of getting a rod and reel combo is that you will know that the specifications of each will work well with each other. You won’t have to worry about whether the flexibility of the rod will be compatible with the gear ratio of the reel, because a professional has already put in the work for you in figuring that out. 14
