80 pound fishing reel 80W 2-Speed on a Tournament Edition Straight Fishing Rod 1 (low) Fishing For Fun Spinning Reel

One of the low profile baitcasting reels I will have with me on the trip will certainly be the Abu Garcia Pro Max 4 (JDM)

6 Aberdeen will penetrate with very little pressure, but a 5/0 swimbait hook will really have to be driven hard to stick a fish solidly

Fluorocarbon, on the other hand, is less visible underwater, sinks naturally, and provides better abrasion resistance around rocks and structure

These are the STT30T, STT40, and STT50 which are priced at $169.99, $179.99, and $189.99 respectively

Build Quality: Ice fishing reels should be durable and capable of withstanding freezing temperatures

If you walk into any Mid-Atlantic or Northeast tackle shop, fishing club or shady dockside bar and start talking about circle hooks, expect some mixed opinions
