abu garcia bait caster reels Max™ Pro Low Profile Reel (Prior Gen) the Revo STX has the torque and power you need in a workhorse reel. Abu Garcia MAX STX Low

I have a very good Shimano Culcutta TE GT 101 round baitcaster reel which performed well in my previous fishing trips but it is so beautiful in gold color that i do not have the heart to make it my workhorse and end up scratching all over it

Whether youre pond hopping, skipping docks, or flipping thick cover, this combo delivers pro-level performa

But if Im throwing a walking topwater really far on 30-pound braided line, Ill want my drag a little tighter to ensure a good hookset on a long cast, and then actually back off of my drag as the fish nears the boat so that its less likely to tear off or open up a hook with the rigid braid and thin-wired trebles

With a low-inertia reel, though, you don't need a fancy cast - all your normal casts work with UL lures
