One of the first thing I noticed in US bass scene were these absurd hooks, and maybe the frenzied fish reeling. I ever hook fish like that when fishing Arapaimas and Tarpons, with their hardened mouths.

I think so.

Love them. Even in light trolling gear. I hate to use backing line.

Where the finesse aspect rests when throwing a 20g lure?

Anything MGL will have the magnumlite spool, shallower and lighter.

San Francisco river, Brazil.

Came say what @looking45 pointed. UV and heat reduces line durability.

9.4lb Giant Red / San Francisco Piranha. Landed it with my ML setup, after more than 3 minutes fight. Giant White Piranha, at least 2lb, never saw one so big. Fat Snook in the BFS setup. Last catch of the day. ML Setup: Marine Sports evolution 12lb rod + Tatula 100 with shallow spool + 14lb test braided line + 12g sinking twitchbait BFS setup: Mavllos Delicacy + Kestrel Elite BFS + 8lb test braided line + 5g sinking crankbait.

Pressurized water, soap and silicon grease.

Got bitten more than 3 years ago. Improved both quality/size and quantity of my catches. I'm fishing under very clear waters, where fishes are very wary of the surroundings.

I'm the opposite, I have difficulty using finesse lures under spinning gear. I can't conceive losing precision and better line slack control, when using spinning reels.

Daiwa Tatula 100, Fuego CT...

I would love to do it. Rest assured!

Longer handle - more torque Smaller handle - more speed, but the ipt keeps the same.

@Delaware Valley Tackle do you still mad? @Bass Rutten LOL!
