Exactly the reason why my Prorex reel is a 8.1 to one gear ratio. You can always reel slower, but its a chore to reel a lot faster or burn retrieve if you want to get that line in with no play or take up that extra slack quickly left out there. Most fast retrieve reels still have plenty of crankin power even on a 7. 1 or 8.1 gear...I don't like slower retrieve reels, they're twice the work. I fish only for big river stripers in major current and haven't had any issues pulling them outta submerged trees or from behind boulders. And I'm a bank/shore fisherman. No boat. Another great video. Very informative. Keep up the great work.

I’m actually obsessed with Berkley Big Game. 😂🤙🏽 It’s been great for me! And so affordable! 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

In Europe we use heavy Braid 80-100lb for Swimmbaits, you never now what's bite, in the river's swim's a lot off huge Catfish 6-9 ft and over 250lb and they love swinnbaits too.

Those mono hand gestures are so spot on! 😂. I no longer use fluorocarbon as a leader for big baits. It’s too easy to burn it using a FG and so many other connection knots and you can’t tell. Using a short mono leader will see far less baits being cast off or broke off by a fish.

You should check out the savage gear 4d line through pike they make a 20 inch one and it would be neat to see a vid of you checking it out or maybe even getting one

Do you tie a loop knot for ur big topwater? Helps a lot with action

[petemitchell]

Great vid. I’m gonna say fishing a Hudd on mono is a great way to have your heart broken. I’d personally never do it under any circumstances.

I swapped videos I've been watching from the one's made by B.A.S.S. Professional Anglers on swimbait & glidebait set-up... to yours.
I TRUST YOUR OPINION MORE THAN ANY OPINION THAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER.
Thanks for the win.

Am I too late to get a response? Well my lake had a lot of grass almost all the way to the top like 30 feet off the bank. I was using the Swaver and was getting followers like crazy on the grass edge. I got one on a 💣 out cast. But normally the action of the bait would fail because of the grass. So I can’t get a full cast in. Then I lose the followers. What bait can get the followers but also have action the whole cast? Thanks have a nice weekend or day or something 😂👍

P-Line CXX is by far the best. I’ve bank flipped multiple 6-7lb bass on it and it holds up so well over time, it’s also super cheap and always in stock

[jteixeira]

Your videos are awesome. I just started to get into swimbait fishing. All this information is great 👍

My only issue with braid for walking topwaters is it seems to catch on the baits hooks. Now I'm talking a spook or sexy dawg so that may be different than big magnum baits. Going to experiment with a mono to braid leader on them though. Great video as always

[nickcavazos]

Bro you should try sunline flippn fluorocarbon for the slow bottom baits, has a yellow marking every 2ft or so so u can see those small ticks, but it still disappears under water plus it has less stretch than sniper, just supple with low memory and lasts longer than sniper or seaguar abrazx.
Also you need to try sunline super natural mono. The most supple thinnest mono with the least amount of stretch ive tried. Comes in a clear blue and green. And even suffix pro mix is a good durable mono.

What line should I use when there is big pike

[bobbyinman]

Jeffrey, is this still accurate for glides?

[kj]

Do you ever fish big swim baits at Roosevelt Lake

[oldmilk]

You gota try Braid to FC100 leader it’s fantastic 👌

[brandonsherrell]

What are your thoughts on izor been throwing it for a few months love it so far

[bassboundtv]

Great info. You are totally right about straight monofilament and big topwaters. I tried fishing a mega dog on 25lb mono and the action just wasn't there. Switched up to braid to leader and the difference was might and day. Keep up the good work.

[jimmin]

Thanks, just getting started so i will start w mono.
