I think a lack of give in the tip to absorb a last gasp dash the fish gives might have contributed. I will have to keep trying it, but we will see. One technique that I absolutely have not mastered because it requires you to stay conscious during that super quick little burst of excitement when they eat at your feet but once they’ve hooked themselves you can disengage the spool so when they run there is little to no resistance, on a lot of jdm videos you can hear the clicking of the clutch engaging and disengaging as they try to land it, again not always easy to think that quick in the moment but it’s something worth trying Drew03cmc and manansalsa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookingandfishing Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 So far couldn't be happier with the 66XH Valkyrie 3pc - short bank strikes, end of the cast strikes...if it has treble hooks and weigh between 2.5 and 4.5oz, it's been absolutely solid. brootalititties, LureFlyingAcrossThePond, Jon P and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
