I don't think it's supposed to click when releasing line.

Never fished that reel. It is one of Lew's cheaper reels. Can you record it and download a video ?

WTG Brother!!!!

How many hours do you fish. Maybe you missed the times they were biting.when I go it's at least 8 hours.

Definitely one of the best braids out there overall.

Do you feel you catch more fish with the leader even though it's short ?

Like 18 inches?

Long leaders and knots are out. Just wondering if guys have luck with short leaders.

I confused you with the o.p. who was ripping them.

Why ? Hooksets are fine with the plain o ring. I use the ones that come with the tool bps sells.

Ok I hate leader knots going through guides. Besides that all my rods are micro guides. Do any of you guys use short leaders like 18 inches so the knot doesn't go through the guides ? Do we really think a longer leader is beneficial to the fish not getting spooked ? How far around a bait does the fish inspect it ? I still don't think bass are line shy but I was contemplating trying a leader maybe for topwaters and abrasion resistance on cranks. Also others have brought up the point of saving money because you're not chopping your mainline shorter all the time.

I've never had it dig on spinning . A spinning reel winds it in such a manner that it's nearly impossible. I've reeled against the drag on spinning with 10 lb braid and no problem.

Sufix 832

How do you get dig in on spinning ? I've never heard of that.

That's seriously packed.

And any of the zman baits with elaztech

Yeah those days are over.

54years fishing I've maybe been checked 10times at the most. I never give them any crap. I'm glad they are out there. I call them when I see blatantly illegal things going on.

Yup. And you can feel everything and get a good hooksets.

Get a Lew's LFS and be done with it

That's why I use a wood dowel.

Dobyns without a doubt.

50 lb braid mainline with flourocarbon leader

Go to Sportsmansoutfitters.com and buy a Lew's LFS for 99$. They give free shipping and no tax. By the time you pay shipping and tax on a 80$ reel you are paying the same. It's the best reel made in that price range. Comes in lefty and righty an ratios from 5 to 8 speed.

I use 50lb 832 in yellow and color the last 5feet black. No leaders.
