Seth Feider's Pattern, Baits & Gear
Flipping gear: 7' medium-heavy Daiwa Tatula Elite Brent Ehrler signature series rod, Daiwa Tatula SV TW casting reel (8:1 ratio), 40-pound Sufix 832 braided line (main line), 20-pound Sufix fluorocarbon leader, 5/8-ounce Outkast Tackle Stealth Feider jig (green-pumpkin), Biospawn VileCraw trailer (green-pumpkin).
Dropshot gear: 7'1" Daiwa Tatula Elite Brent Ehrler signature series rod, Daiwa Tatula 4000 spinning reel, 6-pound Sufix 832 braid (main line), 8-pound Sufix fluorocarbon leader, No. 2 VMC Neko hook, 1/2-ounce VMC cylindrical weight, unnamed tube (clear or purple with green flake).
Main factor: "Having both largemouth and smallmouth to fish for. There were times when one was biting and the other wasn't and I'd go back and forth."
Performance edge: "My Humminbird graph. I was catching those smallmouth out deep and I was able to see if the boulders had fish on them, and in the grass where I was fishing for the largemouth it helped me find the hard bottom."
