Advanced Tip: The 10-Minute Post-Trip Routine After every trip (yes, every trip), spend 10 minutes doing this: Wipe down the reel with a microfiber cloth (removes UV-damaging salt residue and sap)

Keep your thumb resting against the spool

Sling-shot In order to get a bait or lure under overhead structure like docks or limbs, hold hook by the bend, pull back to put tension on pole and release

I continued to search out individual fish marks and drop the blade bait

You must learn to thumb the spool as you cast, applying just the right pressure to allow the lure to get where you need it to without overrunning and creating a backlash

I recommend lubricating the worm gear every 3-4 trips
