7.2 oz baitcasting reel X-Series Low Profile Baitcast lc200 baitcasting reel 7 2

Okuma's Cerros Okuma - Cerros : Okuma quietly refreshed their Cerros low profile baitcaster recently refining the braking system and drag delivering everything an angler seeks in a value priced reel and packaging it in a sleek, gloss black frame

In testing the reel, I machine-gunned swim jigs in shallow brush, lasered squarebill cranks across shallow flats, and bombed topwaters to distant schooling fish in the wind

As BassResource experts explain, bass use their vision and lateral line to sense movement and pressure changes in the water, and a lure that creates the right combination of signals can flip the switch from neutral to aggressive in a split second

Like long baitcasters, open areas and deep holes are where long spin rods prove their worth and tend to fill in the gaps that baitcasters leave

The Original Bill Norman crankbaits in silver/black, silver/blue, bone and chartreuse are personal favorites

Start with the right gear, set your brakes and tension properly, and practice casting with focus
