This is not the reel you buy because you want the fanciest thing in the boat
Ribbon tail worms, finesse worms, lizards, paddle tail swimbaits, stick baits, craws, and creature baits are all good options
Now a completely different reel with the take apart feature and a gun metal finish
Joe and Luke, before I met you, the only way I learned about what was best was by someone that was trying to sell me something (bait shop, magazine, tv show, etc.) or by a well-intentioned friend that really didnt know what he was talking about
Whether you want to shake this jig or straight retrieve it, this top-of-the-line jig has a slightly more compact hook than the original Z-Swimmer
