By inshore we mean estuarine areas (saltwater to brackish) and island headlands chasing quality fish like barramundi, golden snapper and others
When playing a fish, the only cushioning that you really get, especially at the point where you first connect with it, is via the bend in the rod and also the stretch in the line, plus of course how your clutch is set - or if you back wind, how fast you are able to engage that and keep up with the fish when it runs
Both are requisite features for targeting big fish using long and/or shallow tactics
