daiwa 5500 reels Penn Slammer IV Spinning Reel multi disc drag Daiwa CROSSCAST-S Big Pit Reel

For me there were a few basic Patterns that got bites and worked well through Fall, On warmer days in early Fall I threw Topwater baits including @Imalures Finesse Popper in Bone color, early and late in the day, the key was finding grass on flats near tules on the main river areas

It casts extremely well, doesnt tangle, is easy on my hands, and quiet through the guides

The lack of stretch can put extra stress on your tackle and may lead to hook pulls or snapped lines, which is why a heavy and stretchy mono top shot is often used with a wire leader Knot Sensitivity: Tying knots, haywire twists and crimping wire leaders can be more challenging compared to tying other leader materials

All information on this page is my interpretation and opinion about the history of the Ambassadeur reel as I understand it

This is a meat stick made for chunking bunker, diamond jigging, bouncing a bucktail, and pulling fish away from bridge pilings

I use 80-100lb mono as it offers some abrasion resistance, gives some valuable stretch (when fish are close to the boat and then choose to make a break for it), and i believe mono is softer on the fish
