The reel features a recessed, externally adjustable MC-1 Magnetic Cast Control system to fine-tune your casts with ease

Traditionally, I've fished suspending jerkbaits from brands like the Rapala or Lucky Craft

Casts well and it does great with hooking and fighting fish on a crankbait

Focus on your bait as it falls, a lot of bites occur just as the bait reaches the bot- tom

That means, when the conditions are right, I work a topwater lure for hours without a bite when other lures might have produced fish

- The arbor of the reel is small (inner diameter 1.75) but I was only able to get 80 yards of 20lb dacron backing on it and still have room for a 7wt sinking line
