Over the decades, smallmouth fishing in the rivers of the upper Midwest has become my passionright up there with duck huntingand Im always ready to get back to the river

A drail followed by a 3- to 4-foot leader of 30-pound fluorocarbon finished off with a 3/0 light wire hook, or a 4/0 short shank live bait hook, will do the trick.Keep the drail as light as needed to stay on the bottom with a minimum of scope

A solid performer for its price point

For most paddletail and swimbait fishing, I favor long rods with a MHF action

Also, if you drop your GoPro, it's gonna sink

This reels smoothness, ease of use, and raw power make it the best musky reel for bucktails
