12 plated fish hook Gamakatsu SL12 S Tin Blue Water – Charlie's Fly Box Crappie Panfish Fishing Hooks Aberdeen

For a long time, I used a 1/8-ounce insert jig with an exposed hook, a 2 3/4-inch Strike King Pro Bitsy Tube lure and 10-pound-test line and really got on a tournament bass tear, Grigsby recalls

Keep in mind the style of fishing that you will be using the reel for, as this will dictate which gear ratio, either low or high, will be better in that specific scenario

The magnetic brake system is fantastic as well

Look for realistic finishes that mimic local baitfish, as well as strong, sharp treble hooks that can hold up against aggressive fish
