St. Croix Triumph – A Livebait Rod

Love it or hate it – Andrew Ragas of Northwoods Bass Fishing Adventures, LLC – Minocqua, WI showcases a livebait set-up for bass that doesn’t break the bank.

In late fall, I always carry live bait as an insurance policy for the boat. Some days you’ll need it, other days you won’t. But this is a live bait system done right. I showcase everything from rod to reel, line choice, and all terminal tackle. For safe release and clean hookups, the terminal tackle is most important IMO.
