Look familiar? Happens man just part of the game!! This mag has a stinger hook behind the top fin and the fish still missed. I watched this fish eat the bait and it attacked from the side. Rolled the bait over on its side so all the hooks were away from the fish. Nothing you can do about it just fish on. When you get the right fish the one you are really after it wouldn't have a problem getting hooks!!

Got'em!! There is no turning back now!

Exactly what I did....just wanted to get the info out there.

Don't know if this issue has happened to anyone else yet but I experienced a issue trying to adjust rof on my 160. Seems if you choose the method of shaving the lead weight you can put a hole in your bait!! I choose to shave instead of remove the weight completely as others have mentioned and this is the result.

I have used mine pretty heavy for one swimbait season now and it seems to have lost its smoothness especially in the gears. Took it apart to check for any problems and found nothing. Guess it's just the way they are. You get what you pay for I suppose. I am going to purchase a different reel to replace it before it degrades further. It's a perfect reel in lots of ways for swimbaits it just feels like a cheap reel in the smoothness department.
