daiwa 18 saltist LW – US and the PE Reel Daiwa Saltist West Coast

It was on slop and pads and the brown colored frog was getting blowups but this was my first time actually trying out a frog

My favorite colors are watermelon red flake for clear water, green pumpkin chartreuse tip or red shad for stained water, and black for muddy water conditions

And Day 3 is when he really started pulling out his bag of tricks, tossing the swimbait, a wacky-rigged Yamamoto Senko (baby bass) and even a popping cork with a homemade hair jig at the end

Engraved with it's model number, it was not serialized but stamped "Made in Sweden" on the foot

This is a buzz-style frog, with two paddle legs that churn as you swim it across the surface much like a buzzbait

And because of its higher memory and stiffness, mono jumps off the spool like a wound-up spring and is notorious for developing line twists on spinning reels that can make for a tangled up mess in a hurry
