Hello, my name is Ben . I m a french fisherman. I fish bass and I often use little swimbait for fishing in france. I dream to go fishing on one of your celebrity lake in California: maybe the next year for one month.
I have a question about two rods. I still have two rods for swimbait but I want a stongger rod for big swimbait. My stronger rod is a DEPS ( 1/2 - 4 oz) 8 pieds, heavy regular action. It s a nice rod; but for fishing with some big swimbait( more than 4 oz) : I believe that it s not so strong. The "regular" action is very long to put in action for the shooting (cast - compress).
I have seen the Dobyns Mike long swimbait rod 8 pieds heavy action on Tacklewahrehouse.But, there are nothing write for this rod ( how many oz ?). I have seen too the Dobyns champion swimbait rods and they are very nice.
I would like to know if someone can help me for to make a good choise and if some fisherman knows and can gives their mind on the "Mike long swimbait rod 8 pieds heavy action". If this rod is a good swimbaits rod and if it s so strong for to do "big big" cast with more than 5 oz's bigbait.Thank you for your answer.
Excuse me for my bad english.
You have many luck to fish in a bass country dream. In france, it s very difficult : many fishers eat the fish and don t think that fishing is a game. The bass not become very big.
( And thank you for (had put) bass in France after the second war when you came in France ):-)
