Use tweezers for bad tangles and precision but be careful to not damage the line

Built for anglers who value fine-tuned performance in a compact design, the Bates Hundo 100 BRHRH711GM sets a new standard in baitcasting reels

The VR series, which is the brands newest line, runs from a size 50 (comparable to a size 5000 from other brands) up to 200 (20000), which covers all of the bases from light inshore surf casting all the way to offshore pelagics like tuna and small billfish

Dad and mom took us there about twice a month, and the biggest thing for me at 8 years old was I had permission to walk in the water up to waist deep to fish - I went a quarter-mile each way

I stopped for a few casts in one or two likely looking spots along the way and did manage to raise a small pike of about two pounds which bumped my lure just at the waters edge but failed to make contact with the hooks
