My Rods/Reels for throwing Big Swimbaits!

Update: I now run a 110mm hawgtech handle on the Antares that you guys have been seeing in my latest videos!
Also, it looks like Shimano has discontinued the 8' XH Curado rod. Im not sure on replacements for that rod series, and i do not want to recommend anything to you guys without having personal experience with it. But... a bunch of my buddies run the IMX SWBR 965 and 966 and they love them! That may be my next upgrade:)

[@mikehauck5832]

LB, Keep the Tranx on with 80 braid just switch you leader 20lb or 25lb when you fish I-slides 185 or 262. Give it a try. Hey all !!! Smash that thumbs button up.🤙😎

[@LadyBass]

[@johnhumphries6116]

Great video. I am getting in to big swim baits this year. I am waiting for my MS Slammer to arrive. Thanks.

[@LadyBass]

Have fun!!!😁

[@bighashgang1990]

I've thrown baits up to 5 oz on my curado k and it does just fine, but for something I need long casts with I use my 300

[@jonathankim6755]

Thanks! The current Shimano Curado extra heavy 7 8 rod is rated only 5/8oz-2 ounce. Maybe they discontinued the cork handle one for 6 ounces :(

@Ladybass Saturday Aug. 8th 2020 kampenfelt bay area. Hit me up! I'll be in a boat!

[@Redditstorytime777]

Nice quality video!

[@Redditstorytime777]

Matthew Dickson ok.

[@irmantasbagdonas9746]

It's a curado 301k, handle a 150g lures? Thanks

[@LadyBass]

I havent thrown anything that heavy but id say so

[@emmpak]

They don't sell a 2 piece Zodias rod here in North America. You have to import from Japan😞

[@LadyBass]

Yea they dont from what i know unfortunately! There are some 2pc in the other models though!

[@emmpak]

@@LadyBass JDMtackleheaven has 2 piece Zodias rods and there are some on Ebay.

[@lightsoutlitch6278]

Great vid! Is there maybe an updated swimbait arsenal video in the future?

[@LadyBass]

Ok!😁

[@tylerfish6206]

If I were to mail you what I consider the best swimbait would you give it a go

[@johnmisenheimer8341]

LB love your knowledge of fishing gear 👌 . Fish on.

[@gourdow]

Where can I find that Shimano Curado rod? I can’t find it 😩

[@LadyBass]

They are discontinued now!

[@leejproductions27]

@@LadyBass thank you! Is 300 reel a good size?

[@LadyBass]

Another great video LB

[@havard6891]

I have a great day

[@darrellnevius7824]

Nice video keep on fishing and never give up

[@willshmyr9779]

So close to 1

[@richardmorton5538]

That was a great video I like it

[@Redditstorytime777]

Which camera do you use🤔

[@LadyBass]

Sony a6300, the lighting in my garage is trash though unfortunately

[@Redditstorytime777]

Ladybass still looks good

[@Komplete1]

LB. I bought a met. You were right. The Bantam & met are 2 very different reels. Both are incredible. May have to get a K for cranking not sure if my Chronarchs will hold up. Perhaps a Tranx?

[@kwong7058]

Be careful with the Antares DC MD if you are swinging big baits, the x-ship (pinion gear bearing) is only a single bearing at the spool shaft side, Vs the 2 bearing x-ship for your regular centrifugal Antares. More than a few DC MD were sent in for warranty due to bearing issues here in Singapore. Could pick up a pre-owned DC MD for Singapore $350-$400 range. Externally looks great, but micro gears and bearings half-dead.

[@timisoutdoors]

This was perfect! Totally what I was asking you about on IG a few weeks ago. Thanks for this. Tim

[@kimsatterfield2749]

All nice big set ups keep fishing 🎣 keep having fun

[@deangruwell6555]

Ughgh I wish you would stop saying “ with that being said “ so much / so often

[@LadyBass]

With that being said

[@awilderireland]

​@@LadyBass😂😂😂. I was about to write that. But... With that being said.😊
