Why not bail less on a boat?
What Bogan would you recommend for bass/blues from a boat being you have one? I usually use spinners to Snag and drop bunker, for bass, and tossing metal to bass and blues.
Agreed on the better epoxied/wrapped guides.
I also have the Battle 5000 on a Shimano rod that I use to snag and drop but I want to up grade.
I use an old Mitchell 303 from the surf which has been re done. It is bail less, drilled out and has a VS look, upgraded with bearings, and an upgraded drag.
Painted black with polished chrome side plate and spool. Its killer old but keeps up with the best of em. I always get asked where I got my custom VS, I laugh.
Thx
