How To Properly Spool A Casting Reel |
|
Spooling a baitcaster reel is one of the most overlooked things in fishing. Many anglers will simply lay the spool flat allowing line to come off the spool clockwise or counterclockwise. While the spool can be laid flat to spool up spinning reels, this is not the case with baitcasters. The spool on a spinning reel sits vertically, but the spool on a baitcaster reel sits horizontally; therefore, the spool of line must be sitting horizontally. Check out these tips on how to properly spool your baitcaster reel with different types of line here!

Developed for situations when anglers want to utilize the hover strolling technique around cover, the Core Tackle Weedless Hover Rig allows anglers to fish through brush and weeds without snagging. Perfect for targeting fish with forward-facing sonar units, the Core Tackle Weedless Hover Rig features lead poured along the shank of the hook and in front of the line tie to distribute the weight throughout the soft plastic instead of being isolated at the head like a traditional jighead. Built to create a more natural horizontal fall that glides side-to-side or spirals and absolutely drives fish crazy, each jig also features a wire weed guard that's more stealthy than traditional fiber weed guards and helps the hover rig deflect off rocks, wood, and dock pilings. Maximizing efficiency and saving soft plastics as well, the Core Tackle Weedless Hover Rig is much faster and easier to rig than other hover stroll rigs that use a non-weighted jig hook and nail weight combination, reducing wear on soft plastics so you can catch more fish per bait. The Heavy Duty (HD) Hover Rig encompasses a stout 90-degree flipping hook and beefed-up weed guard creating a must-have power-fishing Hover Rig that can be flipped and skipped into the heaviest of cover while handling the meanest of freshwater and saltwater species. Offered in a wide arrangement of sizes that pair with all sorts of finesse soft plastics, the Core Tackle Weedless Hover Rig is perfect for hover strolling in or around cover.
