On the commercial side however, the Government have seen fit to allow shore based netting for bass, mostly in the Northwest, and in Wales
Avoid both if you want to land fish weighing more than 1lb
Traditional hooks, lures, and small tackle are easy to lose, easy to forget, and often end up scattered at the bottom of a bag
If you leave your spool unfilled, it reduces the circumference of your spool and therefore does not pick up the amount of line it is designed to retrieve with each turn of the reel handle
I like to use #14 or #12 hooks for smaller minnows and crankbaits and maybe go up to a #12 or #10 for inline spinners and rooster tails
This spinning reel has a specially designed spool for long casting, and it can hold up to 525 yards of 20 lb braid
