Windy conditions : Very light finesse baits in high winds can be challenging to control with baitcasters

The line is as thin and soft as monofilament with greater abrasion resistance and lower visibility under the water

It can withstand exposure to the sun and saltwater without degrading, which makes it less likely to break

It is therefore worth trying to make a few lures and to compare the catches taken with lures to those taken with natural bait

You can even step up to a big reel that will hold big line like the old HT 5500 or Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 when you are using your heavy ice baitcaster rods like the Clam Jason Mitchell Mack Baitcaster Rod
