    Great video again Alan,
    The mistake I made when I started soft plastic fishing was that I had too much slack in the system.
    Especially when there was wind creating a bow in my braid.
    I started having more success when someone showed me how to work that line between tension and slack and watching for that line to dip when you contact bottom.
    Great sp101 here!

      May I ask what would you recommend for soft plastic rod on the bank targeting reddies on the lake? Particularly in Miller rods range, there’s so many of it idk which one to save my money for. 8lb braide 8lb leader is what I would go for with a Vanford 2500. Please?

    One thing my spin rods always seem to suffer with on fluro leaders is the tiny little guides at the end catching on the line on the way out and sometimes the way in too. Even with the FG knot still had a few disasters

      Yeah I get the same issues at times especially with micro guides on high end rods. the trick for me has been to get a higher grade braid with thinner diameter. Things like gosen 16x or Daiwa Saltiga 12

    Great video. Thank you. Maybe it has been answered in the comments somewhere, but my question is - how long of a leader do you use/recommend? Keep up the good work.
