BBZ Wake Rat | FishLab

For walking baits and bigger topwaters including Ploppers, I really like a medium heavy rod, braided line but something like a 40-pound braid

Abu Garcia Beast 400 LP

Model:SLX150XGA

Here’s how to match the best braid to your style and needs: Consider Your Target Species Bass, pike, or musky: Go for strong, abrasion-resistant lines like PowerPro or Daiwa J-Braid

and a smooth spinning reel
