Pro Tip

When hitting extreme distances with a heavy spod or marker lead, make full use of the integrated line clip to lock down your exact range once you find a promising feature or baited spot. Always feather the cast slightly with your index finger just before the feeder hits the clip to ensure a soft, accurate landing that prevents the rig from tangling.
