The rule here is that the spookier the fish are, the longer the leader youll need
Most spools are super slick, so the braid has nothing to grip and will just spin on the spool unless you start with a little monofilament backing or add a small piece of tape to secure it
Even recent archaeologists have commented that the traditional hook was shaped in a manner which makes it very difficult to imagine could ever be effective in catching a fish.William Anderson, ships surgeon on board the Resolution during Cooks third voyage in 1777, noted that Maori live chiefly by fishing, making useof wooden fishhooks pointed with bone, but so oddly made that a stranger is at a loss to know how they can answer such a purpose
A long, limber rod acts as a shock absorber and has more forgiveness
Although the angler needs to impart a little action into these lures, once the right retrieve is obtained, a lot of fish can be caught quite quickly
This allows them to "work" much better during each fall phase following a twitch Pro Tip: For baits with little inherent action that you need to get to the bottom right away, then 1/4 to 1/2 ounce is closer to the money Pro Tip: For punching into much thicker cover, then tungsten sinkers between 1/2 to 1-ounce weights PEGGED just in front of the hook eye will get the job done right
