daiwa dropshot reels BG Saltwater Spinning Reel 3500 - 5.7:1 Gear Ratio - 6+1 Bearings - 38.50" Retrieve Rate - 17.60 lb Max Drag ABS aluminum spool Daiwa - Revros LT 2500-XH

The wing shaped blade creates lift when the buzzbait is retrieved causing the lure to run or buzz along the surface while making a bubbling, purring sound

Equipped with a 95mm anodized aluminum handle and Lew's Combat Grips, this lightweight reel delivers a secure and comfortable grip, even in wet conditions

If they can see a line coming off the lure, or if your hulking profile shines down from the surface, the fish can sense that something is up, and theyll likely understand that biting is a bad idea

We are a half mile south of the Clinch River access below Melton Hill Dam

A quality 7-foot, medium-heavy power rod should work well
