Key spinning-tackle tactics include retrieving paddle-tail soft plastics across the surface and fishing insect patterns. These lures had the drawback of being extremely lightweight and difficult to cast long distances. However, for sharp-eyed smallmouth bass, a long cast has the advantage. However, using a soft rod to prioritize long casting can compromise hook-setting performance at long distance. The STS-HM63SS is the first rod in the “Surface System,” creating a new dimension of surface-range fishing. A specialty surface-fishing model—the lightest in its class—designed to cast insect-style and lightweight lures long distances and ensure solid hooksets at range. The distinctive guide system that runs close along the blank dramatically improves castability with monofilament line or ultra-fine PE. ■ Compatible lures: Weightless Rig Soft Plastics (Paddle Tail, grabbing buzz), insect-style Soft Plastics, small insect-style plugs, etc.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SMITH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67594072293685,"sku":"JDMAS-4511474170312","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/3766\/2773\/files\/smith-the-strategy-tourer-sts-hm63ss-spinning-1-piece-4511474170312.jpg?v=1790649795","url":"https:\/\/jdmanglersupply.com\/products\/smith-the-strategy-tourer-sts-hm63ss","provider":"JDM Angler Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
