daiwa compact fishing rod reel TATULA 103 SV Baitcasting - Superior Cast — St. Croix Rods with a hard top Daiwa Scheels Outfitters Pro Classic

Line tension keeps the bait snugged against the head, but when he hooks a bass, the bait and head separate so the fish has no leverage to throw the hook

Some things to think about of course, yes, my other reels have been used much more previously and maybe some of it has to do with the Elite being brand new

Its not super-sensitive, but itll do for most applications, and will handle a variety of lures or baits

Again, black is the deal

You can change the settings at any time (fingerprint icon in the bottom left corner)

Once you get around $200 then it's hard to beat Shimano but Daiwa has a stronghold in this price range
