Typical starting points: 1620 lb: a common standard for most redfish scenarios 1216 lb: when fish are spooky and conditions are calm/clear 2025 lb: heavier flies, nasty structure, bull reds, or aggressive bycatch Fluorocarbon is popular for abrasion resistance and sink rate
These poles are easier to control and are best for smaller fish
Fly fishing is so effective for panfish not because of the way the line is delivered or because of any match-the-hatch aspect, but because of its unique presentation qualities during the retrieve
Stop and Go As its name suggests, the stop and go retrieve involves a repetitive stop and go where the lure is retrieved for a few seconds and then allowed to rest
Luckily, the folds stay closed enough to prevent anything from rolling out when the bag is laying down
I am however very happy with the casting distance of this reel
