bandit fishing hooks Walleye Deep Wild Thing Built with a heavy Bandit Suspending Minnow Chrome Red

I prefer topwaters for two uses: covering water to find fish and taking advantage of stripers blitzing on bait corralled against the surface of the water

The drag was smooth and fluidly consistent, no startup resistance to speak of, I didn't sense major fluctuation with heat, and while at higher settings the drag had a hint of delayed response due to rotor flex this phenomenon all but disappears once drag pressure is brought down to normal range

One thing beginners often miss: a corroded baitcaster can quickly lose performance, while a conventional reel may keep working even with some rust

The sit and fish style will often lead to more positive results mainly because trout are so easily spooked

Rods were next as well and expanding to international markets soon followed
