Just as others have mentioned, it does need a dab of oil before you use it ru-vid.comUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e - put a few drops in through the convenient screw cap and you are good to go! I have fished several weeks with a couple of these, and I will be getting more in the future. I put these against my Abu Garcia Pro Max reel, and they actually perform a bit better than the Abu with some of my lighter cranks, and definitely just as good with the rest of my lures. My Abu is a bit more low profile and fits my hand better, but these are definitely not bad at all. You can almost get 3 of these for the price of my Pro Max. My only complaint is the thumb bar sits pretty high compared to my traditional profile Abu. Bring that thumb bar down a little and I’m sold on these all day long.
I need to hit up Bass Pro Shop some time. It’s about a 50 min drive from my home. I’m kind of interested in trying their fishing tackle. Thanks for the vid Norm!! 🎣🪱
Norm, cracking crawls are good. But it's hard to beat the master bandito bug that bait is a fish magnet. And it's great behind baits as well. Keep up the great content buddy. Everyone will agree, Norm is a Fishing King. 🤴
Norm please keep doing these videos I have learned so much from ur channel I litterlay only used to crappie fish with a Zebco 33 and now I have a bait caster I found on your budget video and now use worms.
Another example of why you use drop shots, wacky rigs, and Ned rigs. Finesse fishing always prevails even if it boring. Trust me, I’m from Illinois Chicago area.The most urban place to fish ever. You’ve got to use them if you’re going to catch anything.
