baitcasting reel for trout fishing Summit Baitcast Right and pinion gears for a smooth feel and enhanced performance Trout Bfs Baitcaster JH/DX/AKS/JKS BFS

Cons Too big and heavy for back-bay use Likely to scare away anything in the vicinity if used in shallow water Requires fairly heavy gear to cast and work correctly Even with a football field-sized school of menhaden (aka bunker) to choose from, the biggest and fattest stripers will seek out an easy meal in the form of a slow, wounded baitfish

Taking a topwater and throwing it into this scenario is a great way to get a reaction strike out of these fry guarders

Sealed are the best and provide the most corrosion resistance, shielded offer some protection against corrosion but will not last as long as sealed, and lastly open bearings which will corrode and junk out the fastest

The Berkley Cullshad isnt just great for heavy cover scenarios, it works great for coving water as well
