I've always been of the mind that one should use the best equipment one can afford.That applies to everything.I don't have all the "bells and whistles" that some do, but if new (better?) technology exists, why not take advantage of it?JMO
I have never used one of those type jigging poles b/c most of the time i am goin after bigger fish than perch and such. Do those type poles work well on larger fish such as bass or trout?
along with my son's little tigger pole and reel.
So I jig with poles that are the type with the plastic reel or with no reel at all and use knobs to hold the line. Am i old school or do others still fish this way? I look at Gander at all the fancy open face reels and wonder if they are all that better than what i have been using. I figure as long the fish are looking at my jigs and not my pole/reel that is all that really matters. What are other peoples feelings on remaining old school?
