daiwa saltist 30 lcha LWLC30H Line Counter Reel – Musky Shop this reel can handle the harsh saltwater environment like a champ Daiwa SLTSD30 Saltist SD Star

Flipping your line works really with braid but not as well with fluorocarbon and monofilament as those two lines have a tendency to dig into themselves and damage the line nearer to the spool

The FG gets its strength from essentially weaving the braid over the leader in a crisscrossing pattern that, when tightened, compresses and squeezes down on the leader like one of those Chinese finger traps many of us played with as kids

Enter the crankbait

I prefer to use an internal tube jig head which puts the weight inside the tube itself

This rule can help you in clear water situations be more on point with what to use
