Hey Larry,
First question, I am seriously thinking of replacing my trebles with large single hooks. I notice that you use trebles. Would you NOT recommend using single hooks on lures? If not, feel free to expand.
Second question, reels that can crank a bucktail FAST. I recently saw an article and wondered your opinion. I have Calcutta 400 TE's. I also have Tekota 500's but haven't tried those yet. I know they don't have as large a spool as the 600's but they still have the low gear ratio.
What about the Trinidad? How about some of those large saltwater spinning reels and a pendulum cast?
As always, thanks for the info and insights
Best,
Todd
