fish n mate rod holders rubbers Rack 6 Plate Mount Basic by Anglers Bright anodized finish Angler's Fish-N-Mate Rod Holder

The Shimano Stella 10000SWB PG Fishing Reel will match to any rod capable of handling heavy line class, one option is the Shimano Ocea Rods some of the rods in this range are the perfect companion to this reel

These rigs have a weight at the bottom with a hook and bait tied above it so they can be lowered into areas where bass are congregating and pulled up to catch a bite

This rod is not heavy at all, really a Med action rod, very flexible, perfect small square bill, jerk bait rod nonetheless

In terms of startup inertia (no hiccups when that fish grabs the fly and starts peeling line), this drag is butter

Thank you, Sprucelane, for providing such a wonderful retreat in a tranquil setting

The hand is long enough to reel in the big fish
