During the course of a fishing day, as wind conditions or lure choices change, a simple adjustment of the cast control, and sometimes a slight adjustment of the casting motion, are all that are needed to keep casting effectively
Drag & Power The 18-pound drag is impressive for this class and more than enough for: Largemouth bass Striped bass (light tackle) Fluke and inshore species The drag is smooth under moderate loads, though its not as refined as higher-end reels
From the inlets, to the flats, to the oyster beds, and deepwater bridges, baitcasting reels have a place in inshore saltwaters
This weeds out all of the dinks
Pitching, on the other hand, is another short range strategy, but the angler does deploy the thumb bar and makes a quick wrist motion that keeps the lure skimming the surface of the water before falling silently under a dock or into the confines of a bush or laydown
