- Evolve Snag-Less Hook Keeper

The Dick Nite Spoon in Size 1 or 2 will work great in any trout boat fishing situation

Ultralight power matched to 48 lb line Long-rod line management for finesse presentations Sensitive tip for subtle pickups Built by Pacific Northwest rod builders Built by Pacific Northwest rod builders and proven on demanding salmon, steelhead, and saltwater fisheries

Personally I didn't have any issues with the components (hooks, blades, keepers etc.) on the lower end models so I can't justify paying $15-$18 (vs $4-$8) for a slightly better hook and 2 wire keepers and a slightly better blade

Closed face reels feel simple and easy during the first few fishing trips, but they limit casting distance, strength, and long-term use

A braid-to-leader knot may pass through the guides repeatedly, take the force of every cast and rub against weeds, rocks or other cover
