When you need a slow pitch jigging reel with 6061 T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum construction and CVX frame, patented TwinDrag system with up to 30 lbs stopping power, Xtreme Cast Technology (XCT) for superior casting performance, 17-4 stainless steel gears with reinforced gear shaft, elongated handle arm with SPJ knob, sleeved spool design for free spool performance, and versatile sizes (300, 500N, 600N, 800N) for offshore fishing, tuna, yellowtail, grouper, and pelagic species, the Accurate Valiant 2 SPJ Single Speed Jigging Reels are the choice of serious slow pitch jigging enthusiasts
Unfortunately, they werent fin-clipped (for later identification, as the Floridas stocked in Casitas in 1970 were) but you can be reasonably certain of identifying one of those 1968 fish when its caught, by considering its size and the number of scales found along its lateral line. Bottroff says a northern bass typically has 58 to 68 scales along its lateral line, and an average of about 63
Unfortunately, despite this I have seen anglers sacrifice a fish just to get their hook back, which is a sad and sorry state of affairs when hooks are, in the whole scheme of things, the cheapest bit of fishing gear in your whole tackle box
I did mention jigs and plastics
In the wild you'll have to improvise tools
