black max fishing reel Maxxon Fly edge Revo and Zenon series Abu Garcia Black Max 4

"Hines Ward part of a string of 'Dancing' athletes"

Tie a Palomar knot leaving a long tag line long as in anywhere from 12-36 Tie on or clip your weight to the bottom of the tag line (tie it so you dont lose it when the fish jumps) Nose hook your favorite finesse worm When to fish it: If you look down at your graph and see fish schooled up deep below you, but you cant seem to get them to bite on a jig, jerkbait, or deep diving crankbait

Reels with star drags generally have a separate lever which allows the reel to go into "freespool" by disengaging the spool from the drive train completely and allowing it to spin freely with little resistance

At 9 6 with the extension fitted, I would tend to use it with the heaviest tip as an uptide style rod, or with the match tip as an ultra-sensitive nibble tip or competition rod that still has possesses the necessary back bone to deal with something decent if it happens to take your bait

Unless your primary focus is larger water or longer casts, most backpackers will find little advantage in carrying a travel rod over 7 feet long
