Line Capacity
I just spooled my reel up with new line it's rated for 125 yards of 14lb test I filled it almost all the way to the top of the spool and tied it off to a fence post and started walking out the line to stretch it to my reel so the line doesn't dig in and so it forms to my reel it helps with backlashes.. But when I get to the very end of my spool it's only about 60-75 yards of line do the manufactures of these reels actually test how much line they really hold or do they just guess I'm using Cajun red 14 pound test it's a little thinner than most others rated at the same test anybody else notice this with your reels

Understanding The Shad
If u have them to use for bait or u have to catch some an easy way to find em is if the wind is blowing from the north they will be on the south bank and visa versa

Jig Problems
I would not use the leader it might be stretching too much to get the hook to penetrate deep enough and without the leader u'll have better feel of the lure

It depends on the water color if the water is real stained I'll use a double Colorado chartreuse and try and bump it on everything I can if the water is more clear I'll use the double willow usually in a white or a chart/white

Slow Drag Versus Hopping A Jig Or Plastic
I tend to change up my retrieve every 2-3 cast one time I'll bounce it the next time I'll drag it then I'll let it sit for a few seconds and pop it and sometimes I'll just reel it straight in I also change up colors all the time but I'll try just about everything in by bag to catch the fish
