I noticed more bites when using finesse techniques, such as drop shots and Ned rigs, with this reel

Best Deep-Diving Crankbait: Rapala DT14 Series Pros Ideal for covering water Deflects off of deep cover well Wide array of color options Durable Cons Needs to be fished at a certain depth range Stock hooks arent very sharp Specs: Size: 2 Weight: oz Depth range: 14 ft Key colors: Citrus Shad, Dark Brown Crawdad, Silver Prime Conditions: Post-spawn Ledge fishing, road beds, deep rock piles When the bass head to deep water during the middle of the summer, most folks turn to finesse presentations like drop shots or Ned rigs, but if you want to stand out from the crowd and catch some giants, tie on a Rapala DT14 Series deep-diving crankbait

Your thumb should apply pressure to keep it from unspooling

Just because they cant be fished as aggressively in the spring doesnt mean the fish won't bite
