5' 6 baitcasting rod Zebco 202 ZeeBee 5 ft in Spincast Combo with Eagle Claw Tackle Kit tournament angling and more Monster Kiss Salt Lure Rod

Handle and Grip Your grip affects how comfortable your rod feels after a long day on the water

The combination makes for a rod strong enough to wrestle big ones to the boat with still enough give to keep the fish from tearing free on the fight

With your rod held horizontal at about chest height, open the bail on the reel and let the lure fall until it hits the ground

Blue: Ideal for deep-water fishing, blue braids can be less visible at depth, especially in clear waters

If you are expecting to catch large fish and are using large hooks connected to the mainline with wire snoods, then small fish like anchovies or sardines can be threaded on the hook in one piece
