Whites and pearl/chartreuses for shad spawns Various pumpkins and bluegill colors for bream beds Some version of black and blue Wacky and Neko Rigs for Precision Fishing Wacky and Neko rigs may not sound like power lures that cover a lot of cover quickly, but they are potent precision lures during the spawn

The Lucky Craft Pointers lifelike action, combined with its ability to stay suspended at the desired depth, makes it incredibly effective for bass that are actively feeding but not quite committed to a deep-water feeding frenzy

Further promoting silky casts and retrieves, a titanium-coated zirconia line guide ensures low-friction line passage

After looking between price and weight..I decided to give this a shot...it's a really nice reel..for 100$ ya can't beat it..looks cool yes, but it's fairly smooth, its a bit loud on the retrieve but 100$ who cares
