It takes less effort to cast the same distance

Some use as long as 9ft, but this isnt necessary if you arent able to fish with that much leader as casting does become trickier

It also helps to prevent loss or damage to your net by keeping it securely attached to you or your boat until its needed

Bass in deeper pockets may be more sluggish, but theyre still actively feeding during the fall

Well Luke because I mostly fish at night in the hot months of the year here in northeast florida my choices are much different then yours but my 4 would be topwater, small 1.5 inch mini chasebaits flickprawn for docks at night when the reds and trout are busting and scattering small shrimp under the docklights then a small subsurface bait like the flea flicker or a small minnow plug for docks also at night and if the plug is not working a small paddletail or curly tail grub like the 2.0 or even smaller to resemble the very small minnows seen in the lights and finally in the few hours im out in the heat after fishing all night to about 10 maybe 11am at the latest my trusted zman gold bladed quarter ounce safety pin style spinnerbait with a stinky gulp usually 4 inch padfletail sometimes a swimming mullet swimming mullet colors of chartruse pepper neon which is white and chartruse with black specks or for the 4 inch paddletail the morning glory color which is black with red flakes and a chartruse tail and in the murky water where I fish it usually gets bit in no time works for me thanks for your input and all you do Thank you for the information
