Make controlled casts with a clear path behind and beside you. Check the lure's movement near the bank or boat before starting a long retrieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBegin with steady reel turns. Try a brief pause followed by a short turn of the handle, keeping enough contact to follow the bait without pulling it through every change of direction. Watch how it responds and adjust the cadence rather than working the rod continuously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast along cover edges with room for an unobstructed retrieve. When a fish commits and you feel its weight, reel down and make a controlled hookset. Maintain steady pressure during the fight, then check the knot, line, hooks, and joint before casting again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the joint, hooks, and attachment hardware before fishing. After saltwater exposure, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly before storage. Secure hooks during transport. If replacing hooks or hardware, check that the new components clear the joint and do not change the lure's movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Throwback Baits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50956322668763,"sku":"sku-55988731871400","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/5320\/7003\/files\/FTTrout.png?v=1793145123","url":"https:\/\/www.reelfishcartel.com\/products\/ft-trout-metro-glide-lt","provider":"ReelFishCartel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
