It was a cold February morning with the wind gusting out of the north, a light mist, and puddles of rainwater covering the parking lot where Tad Van Allan and I sat in his truck with cups of coffee warming our hands

For the beginner, I recommend sticking with a two-piece fishing rod if they are available in the action and length you want

when the stars do align, however, sight fishing for corbina can be awesome

Whether twitched on top as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split shot for medium depth or bottom walked off a three-way swivel or bottom bouncer, the wounded minnow action continues to be irresistible to fish everywhere

Believe it or not, I have this budget friendly reel on my wacky rig combo and have caught MANY big bass with it
