5196, Swimbait Questions
Posted by egbass, Wed Oct-13-04 08:30 AM
I'm planning on fishing Oroville and Berryessa over the next few months. Looking for suggestions on swimbaits to throw.

Also, I haven't had any luck finding info on what the Huddleston Deluxes weigh. What would be a good swimbait rod to throw these? Would this same rod be to heavy for say 9" MS Slammers, Rago Rats, and 5" Big Hammers?

Lastly,
Is the Calcutta 251 large enough to handle the Huddlestons on 20 or 25# line? I want to use a quality left handed reel but the Calcutta 401 is only available in the TE line and that is out of my price range.

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!
