Selecting the best bass fishing lures for largemouth and smallmouth can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be

The spool tension knob, located on the handle side, controls how freely the spool spins when you cast

With its streamlined, darting motion, this lure excels in mimicking injured baitfish, drawing in strikes from aggressive striped bass, particularly in strong currents

We filled the reel with a 10lb fluorocarbon line for throwing pink jigs and baits

It holds up to 150 yards of 12-pound-test monofilament, and unlike a lot of heavy, bulky reels, the low-profile Speed Spool weighs only 7 ounces, making it easy to use for hours at a time

Even if you have a catchers mitt sized hands, this one should get the call, as it provides comfort all day
