THE new Rapala BC400 is an all-round oversized baitcaster reel, suitable for casting large swimbaits for Murray cod and barramundi, or slow pitch jigging reefs for demersal species

In clear open water I prefer a soft jerkbait style lure, however if Im fishing around heavy cover or in stained water I prefer the straight tail worm

This is a pretty standard gear ratio

Buy the baitcaster first if your techniques already demand power and control

Give it to them, and they will love you
