I like the feel when you cinch down knots with the original, you can feel the knot cinch into place firmly compared to where the coated Slick8 feels more like a mono to mono knot

Many of the retrieval techniques can be used for both lures

Steps: Pull 8-10 inches of line through the hook eye Pinch the tag end and standing line together, forming a loop where the tag crosses over the standing line Wrap the tag end around both lines inside the loop using 4-5 turns for heavy line or 6-8 turns for light monofilament Hold the wraps in place and pull the tag end gently to snug the coils without fully tightening Release the tag end and pull the standing line to slide the knot down toward the hook eye Once seated, give a final pull on the tag end, then firmly tighten by pulling the standing line Trim the tag end Expert note: The uni knot excels when connecting braid to a fluorocarbon leader

These reels are a good choice for saltwater environments as they have good anti-corrosion properties although they can also be used on freshwater fishing trips too
