In dirty water and crystal clear water alike
I found out in a hurry that you can fish too deep, as well as too shallow
Where will you fish most often
From versatile jigs and lifelike plugs to soft plastics, spoons, poppers, and trolling lures, each type serves a unique purpose in your tackle arsenal

Upon opening and inspection: - nice paint job, but not a big fan of the two tone red - the reel is a respectable 200ish size reel - has a nice light weight to a reel this size - open spool (w/ no line) spins pretty long and smooth - drag and cast control knob has nice noticeable clicks - I guess nice smooth lighter(?) carbon fiber handle The Setup: Rod: Megabass Orochi XXX F7-70K Destruction (2oz max) Reel: Daiwa Deps DR-Z2020XHL Line: Daiwa Samurai 70lb w/ Sunline Defier 19lb Lure: Megabass Magdraft Freestyle 6in (1oz) Hook: Owner Beast Hook 6/0 - 1/4oz Casting Performance: After tuning the reel to what I deemed to be an acceptable amount of spool knob control, drag, and the brake set to 8 out of 20, I casted and averaged: All Round Mode AVG: 101.4 ft 102.8, 97.9, 98.6, 102.5, 105.2 = 101.4 Long Cast Mode AVG: 106.83 ft 110.05, 107.1, 105.7, 104.8, 106.5 = 106.83 Conclusion: Pros: - The reel casts as SMOOTH as my Steez SV imo, as expected for a $$$ reel
