alussa pro fishing reel OKUMA Alaris Spinning 65 Reel Size 4.5:1 Gear Ratio 34.40" Retrieve Rate 4 Bearings,Multi,One Size,ALS-65 : Sports & Outdoors making it suitable for saltwater scenarios targeted large bait and big fish. My NEW Favorite Fishing Reel?

(Ive successfully used metered braid in the past to put my flies right on the noses of trout seen on the sounder, but the metered digital line counter would take even more guesswork out of the equation.) It would also double up as a good slow-jigging reel in the saltwater when the big spawning reds turn up on the coast in late October/November

In shallow streams, a red hook can sometimes stand out too much

Bass will typically just inhale it and swim away, with more than half the bites going undetected

In vegetation, lifts and drops that keep lures above thick weeds reduce snagging and help mimic prey escaping upward, a movement predators often track closely

The ITX allows me to work the lure with careful action
