cod fishing hooks Mustad Baitholder Beak Hook but uses a smaller 5/0 hook. Danielson 604-7/0 Rock Cod Rig

Slow rising or sinking jerkbaits wont give you enough time in the strike zone to trigger a reaction

Played games and found a little spot down to the water we enjoyed

They are resistant to UV rays and most of the common chemicals, meaning you won't have to replace your line as often

Tie on your lure and hold the rod horizontally Start with maximum tension, then slowly loosen the knob Stop when your lure drops steadily without free-falling The spool should stop spinning within one second of the lure hitting the ground This "lure drop test" should be repeated every time you change lures or line types

All in all, its a great rod for the money, especially when you figure that the whole outfit costs less than $100

Lastly, based on this research and personal testing Ill outline my best baitcasting reels for the year (both low profile and round reels)
