>>682683its like one of those worms with a curl tail but it wasnt flat, you know? like it was a tapering round from tip to end, and the thin end hooked back up and coiled. like, imagine if you took a traditional night crawler plastic worm, and coiled the back half up. it was like that and it really had a great action.
>>682683i learned to do it the wrong way and cant learn it again, ive tried. i cast with my right hand on the button, then as its hitting the water, i brake with my right thumb, cup the reel in my left hand, and move over to the crank. its more comfortable for me to hold it with my thumb over the top of the reel with the other fingers hooked below the rod, and then reel with the right hand. ive never had any problems having a bait move the second its in the water like this so whatever, you know?
and its not just that braking from the reel, even with that as off as i can get it it still does it, i assume because i slightly over spooled it and the line rubs against the line guide level wind thingy (pardon my technical terminology) ,aking unwanted friction.
how do you identify "okay bass are spawning here?" or "nope, theyre not here" quickly? ive never caught a spawning bass.
