baitcaster short rod AMAXLP/701MH (Baitcasting) This tiny set up features a quality tiny baitcast reel w/ a silky smooth 10 bearing system Micro Magic Pro

If you would be checking on the weight of both 6000 and 5000, they weigh 1 oz more than 6500

When it comes to baitcasting and spinning reels in the same category (lets say entry-level models), spinning ones are a bit cheaper

In my opinion, especially when skipping, a buzzbait on braid is the way to go

If no bass are biting, shake the line or hold it still for a moment to encourage a strike
