Fishing with a swim bait can be effective when fish are suspended in the water. Use a smaller swim bait with a boxer head and a specific reel, the Regal LT series, which is lightweight and has 10 bearings. Using a larger spinning reel like a 3000 or 4000 can be beneficial for line management, speed, and drag systems. The Regal L.T. is also noted to be an affordable option with advanced technology.

A big trend in bass fishing over recent years is the use of larger spinning reels. One reason for that is the weight of modern spinning reels has been reduced dramatically. This affords anglers a few key advantages that they would have never had in the past, larger spinning reels, like a 3000 or 4000, allow for greater line management.
Next, the increased size of the school gives you a tremendous amount of speed to pick up line faster And last but not least.
