daiwa croosfire reel Crossfire LT Spinning Combo Within the light and durable composite body CROSSFIRE LT

For this event, I had a 1/2-ounce Nichols Catalyst Colorado Willow Spinnerbait rigged up as well as a 3/4-ounce Z-Man Sling Bladez Colorado Willow Spinnerbait

My Daiwa BG is now equipped with a power handle and a 39MM EVA knob from Tackle World

They have an anti-reverse mechanism that prevents the line from unraveling when you get a bite

That's what melts the ice

But all you need are a simple spinning rod with four-pound mono, a handful of 2 1/2 to 3 1/2-inch plastics, some 1/8-ounce jigheads, and a few hard baits, and youre good to go.
