I don’t always fly fish for smallmouth bass. Sometimes, I do a little spin fishing .
My boys will fish every now and again but prefer spin fishing to fly fishing. So, I decided to do a little spin fishing too. Growing up, I had a Kmart Sportfisher spinning rod. I did a little bass fishing with baitcaster but didn’t do so well - mostly because I wasn’t too focused on it at the time.
I’ve done really well with a spinning rod this year. Mainly, I’ve been casting flies but also a few soft baits. This year has been a good one and with a lot of outings. So, I just don’t know where to begin.
I’ll just post a few photos and then follow up with another post or two sometime soon. I even built a spinning rod and updated my son’s old spinning rod. More posts to come.
Cheers.
Those smallmouth had to be a blast on light spinning gear---what length spinning rod was you using---I still fish with my micro-light spinning rods some and think at times I am using my 7 1/2 ft. fly rod, which is the length of the both my micro rods. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteSo much fun. I built a 5’5” Fenwick on NOS last Spring. That spinning rod is a blast. Especially on the really small creeks.
