Make controlled casts with room behind and beside you. Check the bait's movement close to the bank or boat before beginning a long retrieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBegin with steady reel turns and enough line contact to follow the lure. Try a brief pause or a short burst of reel speed, then return to your starting cadence. Avoid pulling the bait through every change of direction with continuous rod pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork parallel to cover edges where you have a clear retrieve path. When a fish commits and you feel its weight, reel down and make a controlled hookset. Keep steady pressure during the fight, and inspect your knot, line, hooks, and joint after each fish or contact with cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck 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 do not interfere with the joint or alter the lure's movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Throwback Baits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50956322635995,"sku":"sku-55988779385000","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/5320\/7003\/files\/Tilapia.png?v=1793145123","url":"https:\/\/www.reelfishcartel.com\/products\/tilapia-metro-glide-lt","provider":"ReelFishCartel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
