I have a few different rod/reel setups that I use for different baits. My favorite topwater setup is a St. Croix 7’ medium fast action. I use 15lb braid for topwater, spoons, & chatterbaits, 10lb for paddle tails or shrimp imitations, and 8lb for any really light lures. Hope that helps!
@@Captainjoshmartin yeah that helps, thanks. I only have one setup because I pretty much only wade fish. Once I get a boat I can expand the arsenal. My wade fishing setup is a G Loomis GCX inshore 7’6 medium extra fast and a Vanford 3k with 10 lb braid
@@FLFlatsmaster That’s honestly a great do it all setup! How do you like the Vanford? I’ve got the Stradic 3k but have been considering getting a Vanford next.
@@Captainjoshmartin I really love it. It’s like a smoother and lighter stradic fl. Just make sure you try it on the rod you plan on pairing it with first. Since it’s so lightweight, it doesn’t balance well with tip heavy rods.
@@FLFlatsmaster Thanks for the info!! Didn’t know they could get much smoother and lighter than the stradic lol. I’ll definitely be looking to add that one to my line up next!
New subscriber here. Love your video, super cool action! We have a similar RUclips channel if you want to check it out, "Hunt and Gather with the Chatters". Thanks!
Excellent video That super Spook Jr is my goto for Snook
Love the topwater blowups in that area bc it blocks the wind noise nicely!
What does that mean ?? Blocks the wind noise ?
It’s protected from the wind and can turn volume up
Dame I wanted to see him get that snook after all that❤
Just got another subscriber here. Love the content
