Long slide, you can catch fish after all.

The Steerride 6" has been catching a lot of fish this winter.

Good bass are being caught using jighead fishing with long slides and swimming lures.

The key to the long slide, which has produced particularly good results, is the low-altitude flight that makes use of the worm's propulsive power.

Don't pull the worm faster than it would naturally move, but don't release the tension too much and let it fall straight down.

The trick is to keep the line tension.

If you just reel it in, it will inevitably end up in a head-up position and at a high speed.

By making it a long curved fall, you can create a natural posture and speed.

And each time you touch the bottom, you create a pushing effect against the wall.

The rod is the recently released Daybreak S86L+/2 SteerStick. With its outstanding casting distance and excellent bottom touch, it's a rod you won't want to let go of.

For long slides, a high gear reel is definitely the way to go. It allows you to instantly reel in the line slack and set the hook.

As for the line, PE tends to float in strong winds, so I use 6lb fluorocarbon which can be used in any situation.

Even though it is 6lb, if you hook it near a rock, the line can easily break, so I chose nylon No. 3 as the leader. If you use fluorocarbon, the fall speed will be faster and it will get caught on rocks more often.

I just went there the other day...

I was so disappointed after only losing one fish from the boat that I headed straight for the shore.

The cape is very undulating. Recently, I've been doing well with the following: remove the snag → reel two times → long slide...

I caught a fish with just a few casts, and I felt both happy and frustrated.

That's how many bites there are with long slide fishing. Please give it a try.
