daiwa bg 3000 reel BG3000 SALTWATER SPINNING these reels come equipped with gears that are 20% to 40% larger than the competition Daiwa BG LT 3000 Spinning

The guide weight is reduced by about 50% due to the small diameter guide

For most of the fish I catch, a 10-pound leader is fine, but Ill sometimes bump up to 15 pounds if Im expecting to be around bigger fish or heavier cover

Striped Bass can be finicky with their topwater bites, so make sure to change up your retrieve speed and pause between twitches

When you hang around with those people, you learn quickly that bass pros are the best anglers and best boaters fishing our inland lakes

Of course, the reel is sealed like a space ship

The baitcaster enables the line to slowly/quickly come off the spool in a controlled format
