Omnia collects thousands of detailed fishing reports from anglers across the country to power our local recommendations. Here are the top Reels recommendations for using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Large) technique mentioned in fishing reports from anglers near you.

Shimano Curado MGL 150 Casting Reel

$209.99

Reported by
Ben Hutchins

High Rock Lake (NC)

Ben Hutchins reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Large) technique and Shimano Curado MGL 150 Casting Reel on High Rock Lake. Additional comments from this report: "We started out the morning fishing the shad spawn on main lake rip rap. We did this by throwing a buzz bait and a spinnerbait parallel to the rip rap. Once the sun got up we started fishing shallow coves in the backs of creeks. We threw the Magdraft around shady seawalls and skipped it up under docks. We let the Magdraft sink for a few seconds and then reeled it very slowly. The cruising bass and bass on beds could not resist it. This technique is great for catching bigger-than-average fish. "

Michael Becker reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Large) technique and Shimano Curado MGL 150 Casting Reel on Aldrich Pond. Additional comments from this report: "After a nice rain shower I jumped in the kayak and fished one of my favorite ponds in NW Ohio. I’ve avoided wake baits mostly because of cost, but the Nessie caught my eye. This was the first time using it this year. I didn’t catch many but did catch a good size one. Great bait and easy to throw on my 7’3” Dobyns MHF matched with my Shimano Curado with 20lb Izorline CoPoly. "
