Loosing heavy lures to bird's nests
My go-to is spinning gear, but when my bail started having issues I had to grab my Revo SX today. It was going great with 3/8 oz to 3/4 oz lures but as soon as I got up to the 1oz. lures I started having issues. Bird's nests mid-cast causing my line to stop dead and breaking off my lure. Happened twice before I packed it in.
I hear so much about baitcasters being good for heavy lures. Can anyone explain to this newbie how to adjust my reel for casting heavy lures? I have my spool tension dialed in so that the lure falls slowly when I free spool. I even had this happen when I feathered my thumb through the entire cast. Strange I was having no issues with the lighter lures but only when I switched to 1oz. started having this issue.
