abu garcia ambassadeur 5000c baitcasting reel C3 6501 Reel, Left Handed up thumb rest and a non Abu Ambassadeur 5000 C Reel

I know Im not the only angler who grew up fishing spinning reels, mostly ignoring baitcasters

If its on and off rain, the fish might be active for a short bit and slow for a couple of hours no matter where you go

Technically, spinnerbaits are not made to be weedless

I use 20 lb Suffix131 braid (worth the money, Ive had it on gear over 4 years and though faded works flawlessly) with a 20 lb florocarbon leader on everything

A strong drive gear to complement the pinion, and a combination that produces very smooth winding

Pair it up with the sneaky underspin and its deadly for smallmouth, but largemouth will hit it too
