What kind of reels

[BassBandit35]

Les any brand will work but make sure to get least 6-1 Gear Ratio baitcasters for jigs, spinnerbaits and plastics.

Curios why you would need a 6-1 or better for jigs and plastics? I can understand for buzzbaits or some type of cranking

I like the curado for jigs and plastics. I like a 7:1 reel, especially for jigs. While fishing the lure, I basically just use the reel for taking up slack. But once I am out of the strike zone, I can zip it back in and toss it back out and get it in the sweet spot, much quicker than a slower reel.

When flipping, quicker to horse the fish out of cover. Like Col said- to take up slack. Cranking I prefer from 4-7 to 5-6 and crank it up if need to.
