Which Rod? | rbbassfishing

by Mark Lassagne

That the fishing rod is one of the most important tools to catching and landing bass. It’s true that you can use most any rod and catch fish. Just like you can play golf with any club, right? Standing in the Tee Box 395 yards to the pin and you can use your wedge for this shot; however, wouldn’t driver better? This may be a little extreme, but what about the guy tossing a buzz bait with a spinning rod? And Oh Yes, as a pro angler and guide I’ve almost seen it all. Each fishing technique has a rods that will work ok and one that works perfectly. I’m not saying you need a special rod for every technique, because then you would have as many rods as I do. But you should have a variety that will work for every technique you wish to employ. Think about how many times have you gone out fishing to only land half of the fish that bit? What about? I thought that was a bite but “I’m not quite sure”. Do you know many bites do you miss on each outing? I will tell you this it is a lot more than you think. Do you have any idea what’s going on with your bait? Did your crank get bit, or go through the grass, a rock, wood, mud bottom? Can you make that cast? The one under the brush with the Frog like Rojas does on TV? Are you struggling with each cast? Missing bites, not knowing what’s going with your bait? These are only a few things that having the right rod will help you with.
