100 drag fishing reel PENN Special Senator Star Conventional Nearshore/Offshore Reel, HT-100 Star Drag, Max of 22lb Built with a fully machined frame like the rest of the Bates lineup Daiwa Coarse Rear Drag Reels

This rig can be used with coated braid, either with a section stripped back near the hook, or a braided material, and basically a large loop is tied in the end of the supple section

Additional features include a patented "No Foul" hook keeper and Lew's exclusive graphite skeletal reel seat for seamless integration with the reel

It works very well for both freshwater and saltwater fishing as it also has a dual braking system

Treble hooks are also typically thinner and dont require as much force to set the hook so the added flex in the rod doesnt hurt

As well as this, the added Clicker feature alerts you to when the line is moving, improving bite detection
