Overhanging trees, culvert openings, drains, ditches and undercut banks sometimes don't get much pressure. They are hard to fish and many times weekend anglers get frustrated losing their best lures on wayward casts. Anglers in the know know that this is also some of the best places to find bass and we mean big bass as a result. Several ingredients are essential in close quarters spinnerbaiting. You need a short rod preferably six foot or less, a high speed reel, a compact spinnerbait that is at a minimum of 3/8 ounce and some super tough mono line. 

This application calls for all of the components to be matched. The rod has to have some strength but with a little less tip, the reel has to be tough with a quick retrieve yet smooth for jarring hook sets, the spinnerbait should be made of quality components to start spinning entering the water and this is the best application for monofiliment because of the stretch. You definitley need abrasion resistance and a little stretch at the hook set to keep from breaking fish off.

 

We really like Sufix Elite Camo for this technique. Its invisible in the water, it casts very well and it absorbs the shock very well. Its supple and comes off the reel smoothly without memory even with underhanded loop casts.

 

Here is what Tackle Warehouse says about it:

 

"Sufix Elite fishing line is a premium monofilament line specifically engineered for precision casting that dominates in every performance category. Sufix exclusive J7 Micro Resin formula provides the perfect balance of superior strength and toughness with easy handling and casting. Sufix Elite is wound on wide, oversized spools using what they call G2 Precision Winding to virtually eliminate line memory for trouble-free spooling. For a tough but limp line try the Sufix Elite."
