daiwa 5000 spinning reel BG and low Saltiga Saltwater 5000 Spinning Reel

I typically rig this with a heavy wire EWG hook and go weightless, but if it's windy a Owner twist lock hook with the 1/8th ounce keel weight is a terrific option

This reel provides for a smoother drag and a more gradual drag curve, allowing anglers to fish a lighter drag when slow trolling live baits or ribbonfish deep off the downriggers

They all fall into 2 main categories braid and mono but the options are endless

I prefer a Texas rig this time of year, as it allows me to keep the bait in a small area for an extended period of time

The warmer water can make the fish lethargic and harder to catch during the day and is a reason the nights have elevated activity

What rod would you recommend with it
