The sleek detailing and lines really accent how light and tight this reel feels and fishes

Now, don't get me wrong, you can still loose fish with these hooks, it's just that when you bury the hook properly (by getting a good hookset) and keep the line tight, the advantage goes to you and not the fish because that bend makes it difficult for them to shake the hook and get away, unlike a standard octopus which has a smooth / round bend on it

The best-case scenario when using suckers as live bait is to catch them and use them the same day, or within a short window
