300 series baitcasting reels Daiwa Lexa Reel Hyper Speed Power Handle LX300HP– Essenbay Marine Beast™ 300 Low Profile Reel

The vegetation just seems to spring up thick especially in the shallower bodies of water late in the summer

It is rated for 8- to 10-pound test line and lures up to an ounce

If fishing in deep water and bottom contact is key, the angler may need to carefully feed out line to let the lure reach the bottom too much pressure and the lure will pendulum back toward the boat, too little pressure and the reel may backlash

The Original Bill Norman crankbaits in silver/black, silver/blue, bone and chartreuse are personal favorites

Youll find some of the lesser reels to feel or sound like a coffee grinder at times and obviously, those are the ones youll want to avoid
