Not always, of course, but Ive personally realized through the years that when the fishing gets super tough and the conditions get uncomfortable, going a little old school can make a world of difference in your fishing success

If you are more of a beginner, I would recommend buying a reel with a max drag greater than 15 for fighting bigger fish

Frankly, I would argue they are more important than the rod, reel, or even the lures youre using

Fishers in shallow water need to use a shorter leader

From: Rick: Finger Lakes, NY 12/23/14 Comments: Casts great (won't tumble akin to lures like the Heddon Sonar), awesome action (in any of the top holes) that produces year round on multi-species
