I fish them like they are circle hooks and just engage the drag after i get picked up and almost always hook them in the corner of the mouth

For example, a fluorescent yellow lure can be seen from a distance, encouraging bass to attack out of curiosity or aggression

The double locking, screw-down reel seat with an aluminum locking nut provides a secure and stable reel attachment, even during the most intense battles

The lever drag mechanism was much easier to adjust properly while fighting a fish, and I liked how light it felt on the rod
