Comfortable and sturdy I cannot stress how well made and solid the Daiwa BG spinning reel feels in your hand
The looks, feel and performance of it coupled with the fact Ive put some time, effort and money into restoring it just create a wonderful fishing experience
Try ones designed and sized for the way you fish, including different brands, models, and sizes until it all lines up and gives you full confidence in catching fish
Grip the rod behind the reel with your thumb resting over the reel spool
But for slim boxes, theres no way the design could house a latch like that, so they usually just clip open and shut, which is fine
It provides the extra line capacity needed to handle sudden runs from larger predators like sea bass or big rockfish without compromising the zero-gravity feel of your ultra-light setup
