Drop offs give bass a transition area where they can hold and rest in deeper water while making forays into the shallows to look for food

It's easy to size up when you're already catching fish, but you can lose confidence quickly when you're not getting bites and you may have the right lure on, just a little too big

Whether youre casting into thick vegetation or trying to cover a lot of water, baitcaster reels allow for excellent line management and precise, long-distance casts

Look down at your reel when the fish is pulling and the spool is turning away from you instead of towards you, thats the drag working

Now, those aren't record-worthy, but they are heavy in comparison to the average spotted bass caught in most other places
