daiwa emblem s 5000t reel Emblem-S Reels X2 – Fish For Tackle Daiwa Emblem-X 5000T Black Reel

Ledges/Drops: Drag or hop your jig down the ledge from shallow to deep, making sure to go slowly

I put the reel on my Gloomis 966 rod to use as my Gidebait/Hardbait/Umbrella Rig setup, which previously had a Tranx 300 on it, I also ordered a Dobyn's 807 Mag Hvy rod at the same time I purchased the Tatula 300 and I just moved the Tranx 300 to that rod for my Softbait swimbait rod since it was a low 5.8 gear ratio

Also, due to its stretch-ability, it is a great option for crankbaits because the fish can turn and swim with the lure allowing you time to get a good hook set

I dont like a big, bulky jerkbait with a wide body that time of year, he notes
