Both reels are pretty new on the market, and both incorporate well-placed rubber seals throughout the body of each reel, so both should perform very well when exposed to the elements

Interestingly they were being sold new at the end of their production run for less than when they were first released

a 1/2- or 3/4-ounce Strike King Slither Rig for me, with a 5/0 Hayabusa FPP Straight HD Hook and a Strike King Rage Craw on the back of it

Each anglers style, personal preference and lake conditions will help them decide

In my experience, at least for wild trout in streams, it does not result in more fish

Good old stretchy mono sure is a great shock absorber
