| My best has been 5" tuff shad but you have to make sure it is a very true runner to get it to go in the wash at higher speeds. |

Location: Sycamore, IL | Krushers and Baker baits have produced in the wash for us as well as sledge jerkbaits.
On a side note... I've been hesitant to run bigger hard pulling baits as I worry that I would have to set my drag to tight and might lose fish on such a short line. I see that Jeff Hanson suggested the MX9 anyone else put bigger baits in the wash? Any issues with hook ups due to a tighter drag? |

Location: pittsburgh, pa | Wileys Fatbodys in the wash are killer. I wouldnt be worried about tightening up your drag a bit if you have too. I do 90% trolling and do so with alot of really good fisherman. you would be amazed how some people run there drags and they still catch fish consistently. Some run drags so tight you cant pull line out and some run drags 1 click past free spool. That reel will still scream no matter what. Its all preference. |
