Here are a few reasons why: Im not fishing heavy structure, so I dont worry about getting broken off Im usually casting artificials all day, and heavier tackle makes that a lot harder to do The gear these days is very well-made, and youd be surprised at how well light tackle handles big fish (Ive caught redfish from 5 to 35 pounds with the setup below) Heres my typical setup: Rod: 7 6 medium to medium-heavy rod with a fast action tip Spinning reel: 3000 size reel Mainline: 10 lb braid Leader: 20-30 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon Conclusion If youre fishing for inshore fish on the flats, you dont need to go super heavy (even if there are big snook or bull redfish around)
Sea wasps have a bell approximately 8 inches (20 centimeters) in diameter and tentacles ranging from a few centimeters to up to 10 feet (3 meters)
Unlike closed face reels (also called spincast reels), open face reels dont have a cover over the spool
Smoked stainless steel guide frames with aluminum oxide inserts add further strength for taking on those ice monsters, and the Micro Click reel hood allows for lightweight sensitivity
its a smaller profile jig with a beefy hook that allows me to use a bigger rod and get fish out of cover. His preferred setup is a 7-foot, 3-inch heavy-action Falcon Cara Amistad rod which is extremely versatile
Alternately, if you know you want to fly fish for bass or fish lakes and big rivers with big streamer flies, a 7-weight or 8-weight rod is a better choice
