Best Shallow Crankbait Reel

Will Burch reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel - EOL on Patoka Lake. Additional comments from this report: "My favorite way to fish this bait is burning it in as fast as I can, but I never get bit while the bait is moving. The trick to a good pause is to stop the bait after making contact with structure. For example bring the bait over a log or off a ledge then pause. The idea of this technique is to not waste time working the bait where the fish aren’t and pausing it when it’s in those blatantly obvious ambush point. "
