| I know this question has been asked before, as I did a search and found some info already, but I am hoping to approach this from a bit of a different angle.
1. When is burning bucktails a good tenchinque to use. Specifically I am heading to LOTW in July and I am wondering if I should invest in a rod a reel specifically to do this. If i will not need a combo for this purpose I will not bother getting one.
2. As a lefty what is the best reel for durning buctails. I would like a combo that makes burning bucktails something that is not incredibly painfull. For example I know that a could burn a buctail with a calcutta, but would be willing purchase an Avet if it would make the task easier.
Thanks for your help
Greg

Location: Eagan, MN | 1. imo, it seems to work best when I'm getting a lot of follows but no bites.
2. It's all personal preference. Try what you have, and if you don't like it, try something else. |

| I defintely will have to get out there and try it as this year I plan on casting a lot more. I was just hoping to get some input from people, especially those southpaws on the board, about what the best reel is for burning bucktails. |

| You absolutely do not need to burn a bucktail on LOTW. You can if you want to, but it's certainly not a requirement and not the only way to catch fish. |

| i never understood "burnign bucktails". I usually NEVER do. I work them at different speeds alot but wouldn't consider "burning them". i don't think it matters to be honest. I just go to a smaller blade when i want to speed up the presentation. Any reel i have works just fine. |

Location: S.W. WI | Buddy kicked my butt one year on LOW, we both threw Dbl 10's alot and his Saltist reeled em in alot faster. Not burning- just faster. BUT was it the speed? ? He got a few right behind where I had just casted..? I do know sometimes the only thing to get em to eat on the 8 seems to be speed.
