This reel is an outstanding choice for deep cranking, umbrella rigs, swimbaits and topwater lures

It's one of the most basic decisions in fishing and one of the most confusing - because hook sizing runs in two opposite directions depending on where you are in the scale

If you are using soft plastics as bait, consider a 3/0 or larger depending on the length of your soft plastic bait

Cut Bait: Larger cut mullet or ladyfish are fantastic for drawing strikes from big redfish and late-season tarpon

Some (like those on the older model Abel reels) are made of strong hardwoods like rosewood or ebony, and lots of folks like these

The Scope-Head is available in four different sizes and six different colors that will turn the most reluctant fish into eager biters
