Jimmy :

I understand . When one of my kids was 7-8 we were bass fishing out of a very small boat. She had a casting rod using a devils horse with about 10 feet of line out. She was not watching when a 6 pounder smashed the plug . The ensueing mele almost jerked the rod out of her hand , turned the boat around and almost swamped the boat. In addition because there was no slack in the line when the fish jumped it came unhooked and landed in the boat. The plug with all 9 hooks missed my head by about 2 in. She will never forget it and nither will I . I like BG and RE a lot also.

I would say : BG/RE are great for all ages and types but be careful with small kids if big bass { LMB or HSB } are present . We all know that hooks can hurt. ewest
