You Ready To Catch Some Bass!Tips For Catching Largemouth Bass
We're already starting to "crank"through 2011...and spring is just around the corner...
You ready to catch some bass?
Good... I thought so. That's why you're here... and I aim to please!Let's cut right to it, because I've got a date with my fishin' rod a little later.Speaking of rods: did you know the bass rod you select can have a dramatic effect on the number and size of bass you haul in? The power of picking the right rod in the right situation can drastically increase the amount of big 'uns you haul in every year...and I'm going to tell you how, and why below.
But not before you watch this eye opening (and shocking) bass fishing video that details a little secret for catching a mess of 'um quickly. bass fishing secrets I found out about this on a small boat in the middle of the ocean in 2004, when an old guy pulled it out of a weird green bag. My fishing life has never been the same since... especially since I discovered how it drives freshwater bass into a rabid frenzy.
When you start out to go bass fishing, you will need the right equipment. One of the most important tools you can take with you is the right bass fishing rod. However, choosing the right bass fishing rods from the many different types of rods out there can sometimes be a difficult choice. It will require a little background work before you can be sure you are getting the right fishing rod for you.
This is just another cog in fine tuning your bass fishing system...It's all a process of tweaking your machine so it all works together to trigger bass strikes on a consistentbasis.That's the name of the game. Consistent catches... and FUN. Pure, clean, fun.

I hope you get out fishing over the weekend, and if you get a chance to try any of the tips above, let me know.
And don't forget to check out the Bass Fishing Secret Weapon for even better catches. P.S. ...and if you want more old school tips than you could possibly use in a lifetime... stuff that is tried and proven to put fish on the dinner table... even when in the worst conditions possible (and even when nobody else can catch a single bass), you gotta give this a look: lures and baits.
would it be bad if i use my bass rod and reel for inshore saltwater fishing?
Its a shimano curado reel with a shimano crucial rod. the reel is rated for saltwater use.
Of course not, it would not be bad..
Even if the reel is freshwater it can be used with great success in saltwater. Reels have come a long way from 50- 40 years ago and still those from that era are working fine with proper care.
Freshwater reels used in freshwater, if not taken care will end up rusting too. Another example I seen over and over is people thinking since they don't use the reel in saltwater it will be fine, yes if the reel is cared for. Freshwater will rust stainless steel ball bearings just as fast as saltwater or salt in the air. All rods and reels should be given a rinse under low pressure after freshwater fishing and let to dry. Humidity is another killer, so keep your gear well ventilated, not in a rod or reel case. Reels and rods that will see saltwater use, will need hot soapy water and scrub gently to remove any salt crystals, let dry or dry with a terry or cotton cloth. Don't soak your reel in water. I've tested many brand name stainless steel ball bearings sealed and not, they don't do well under repeated soakings and this is mainly because the balls in the bearing are not stainless steel. There are no reels that is 100% corrosion proof basically a reel has so many different metal parts that electrolysis, builds up. Electrolysis is also a problem in rods if not built properly. Freshwater reels used in a saltwater environment should be taken apart once a month for heavy use or every three months and properly cleaned and lubed.
The bottom line is with proper and correct care you shall be able to use any freshwater reel in a saltwater environment. Don't forget if you're to store your reel for a long period of time loosen the drag.
