St. Croix Victory Casting Rods

$200.00 – $275.00

Reported by
Ohio Angler

Caesar Creek Lake (OH)

Ohio Angler reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Hard Body Swimbaits technique and St. Croix Victory Casting Rods on Caesar Creek Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Fishing was tough. You really had to work for the bites. Hit as many logs and laydowns as possible. The bite is incredibly soft. Sometimes your line just moves, and they have it. Throw it into the thickest areas possible to hold fish."

Reported by
Trenton Webb

Old Hickory Lake (TN)

Trenton Webb reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Hard Body Swimbaits technique and St. Croix Victory Casting Rods on Old Hickory Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Found a decent bite in and around the ledges of flats. Beware catfish love this as well. You will have to cover a ton of water to find fish that will commit, but patience is key. Retrieve at a moderate pace and prepare to be pummeled. "

Lew's Pro-Ti Speed Stick Casting Rods

$269.99

Reported by
Gentry Fishing

Lake Of The Ozarks (MO)

Gentry Fishing reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Hard Body Swimbaits technique and Lew's Pro-Ti Speed Stick Casting Rods on Lake Of The Ozarks. Additional comments from this report: "Mainly fished in the Linn Creek area of the lake. Caught several on the dogma topwater walking bait but those were mainly small keepers. Caught several on a finesse jig behind docks (may have been on beds that I couldn’t see). My better fish for the day came on the glide bait in less than 5ft of water. "

St. Croix Bass X Casting Rods

$125.00 – $160.00

Reported by
River Rat Fishing

Lake Maxinkuckee (IN)
