I've got some cabela bucks to burn and I want to add a few rod/reels to use specifically for trolling bottom bouncers. Got any favorite set ups you recommend?
Go with a baitcast set up for trolling bottom bouncers. I like the Quantum Accurist reel with "Flipping Switch". It makes for easy one hand adjustment.
For rods, I like a 7'0" to 7'3" baitcasting rod in Medium to Medium Heavy action - just depends on the rod manufacture as they are all a bit different. Something like this:
I use baitcasters. Best spinner rod I ever had was a G-loomis I found on Ebay. I don't think they make that number anymore, but it was the best I've ever used pulling bb n spinners.
