big dude's fishing lures Guy Baits the Big Dude blade bait is back Big Guy Baits | Minnow

Sensitivity: Considering I fished this stick with twenty pound (20lb) nylon monofilament, I'd rate the rod's sensitivity to about average and maybe a little over

We have extensively tested this reel over many days, and we are extremely impressed

Fit and setup notes Use racks and T-Bars to keep rod spacing consistent across the back or corners of the boat, then add Monster holders and bases for a complete setup

This includes shallow water straylining when fish are soft on the bite, or lure fishing as lures are usually moving when the fish strikes and you have a high chance of mouth hooking your fish KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN FISHING WITH J STYLE/SUICIDE HOOKS Ensure the point and barb of the hook are visible once youve added your bait Fish with the reel in free spool, as this allows the fish to swim off with the bait Strike (pull up the rod sharply) to set the hook A slightly stiffer rod is useful when fishing with J style hooks as the strike is more dramatic and more likely to set the hook If a fish swallows a J style hook, its mortality rate (or chance of a safe and healthy release) diminishes considerably, as the exposed point of the hook will often embed itself in the fishs throat when being pulled out OFFSET HOOKS An offset hook is when the hook point is turned out slightly from the eye and shank of the hook
