Slow and small bumps are what you want, but If you find yourself in a snaggy situation, bump higher to get through it

Nah I think Ill stick to my shimano nascis they are also cheap in price a mention per reel but where money lacks in great amount the quality is much more I personally believe in my view the shimano nasci is probably one if not the best inshore spinning reel on the market diawa has been very disappointing I bought a by 3000 about 4 years ago and after only a few trips with it found out that even after thoughrally rinsing and oiling it it started to become stiff and now is almost totally useless but ever since I switched to the nasci I have had no problems since I have even accidently dropped it in saltwater totally submerging it then after shacking the saltwater out it still performed flawlessly the rest of the day I replaced all 4 of my stradics with the nascis because the drags were gone because of the hundreds of fish caught on them in the 12 years I owned them but the price now on them is ridiculous about 250 per reel then I saw Tony acevedos report on the nasci and bought one and immediately switched and have been flawlessly catching fish with them ever since and before long the nascis will have as many fish caught on them as my stradics did Im old fashioned and sticks to what works because to me even in this crazy day and age when no one can catch up to technology new doesnt always mean better enough said Stupid phone of mine I ment a bengiman non mention per reel and a bg diawa not by I hear ya, Steven

You slide the spool of line onto the shaft up against the fixed spindle, thread the removable spindle down on the opposite side and use the knob to generate the tension needed to spool the reel

Tanago hooks are specifically engineered to catch fish that can fit on a small coin
