2 piece st croix rod St. RIS71MHF2 Black Bass Spinning line trout fishing St. Croix TSR66MLF Triumph Spinning

What a bonkers way to start a reel review, but how else do I tell the other reels who have been loyal companions on our adventures, all the memories, the places visited, the fish, the birds nests the trees bushes and rocks snagged

I like to think of these performance cut choppers as a modern-day Elephant Ear, Mazco, or Hoss Triton 1 but built with a full 15-inch diameter and stronger blades to handle bigger horsepower

We chose the Dobyns Champion XP 764CB as the best overall crankbait rod because it runs the most popular crankbait range exceptionally well and it can branch out to shallow or deep divers

The gold color is easy for me to see but doesnt seem to deter fish, Luoma said

Keep in mind that the diameter of your line will affect the capacity of line a reel can handle

For example, if you'll be fishing in dark waters, you need lures with a lot of contrast
