    Not laughing at ypu or anyone in particular, but bass fishermen do struggle to throw a plastic with anything less than 1/4 oz jig.
    Inshore, we commonly throw weight less jerks, 1/16th and up jig heads on plastics with casting reels. Same reels you use for cover type fishing. The curados, lews customs and tournaments, diawa tatulas, and so on. Try lighter rods and line.

    TJ, really like watching your shows. However Here’s an idea for you, take all your Okuma rods and reels to a flea market and get whatever you can for them them then invest in Shimano reels and G Loomis rods.

    The main thing is to tell Okuma to reinforce their rod tips. Trash, even on the Pyscho. Same technology since the company's beginning. #Okuma #Okumarods

    meine Hakai ist gestern angekommen. Ich bin sehr glücklich damit. Eine Rolle für verschiedene Köder ( ab 3gramm geht die super soft) 100% zu empfehlen 💪🤸
