daiwa bg spinning reel 2500 MQ Series – Salt Strong in handle Daiwa BG 2500 Spinning Reel

If you plan on baitfishing for some early season stripers, keep in mind that you must use inline circle hooks when doing so

And it cost around $20 less than the Curado at that time

Anti-Reverse An anti-reverse feature prevents the reel handle from spinning backward when a fish strikes your lure and swims off with the line

To do this requires choices concerning the size, strength and type of hook and bait to use, the strength and type of line, and the knots used to secure hook, swivels and sinker so that neither hook, line or knot will fail and allow a fish to escape

Spinning: Your rod should measure 7 feet, have a medium power for setting hooks, and a fast action for casting accuracy and distance
