bkk fishing hooks Ringed Mutsu Circle Heavy-SS - 6 Pack especially deep and dark waters BKK Armor Point Permalock Hook

I wanted to capture that

Paired well with my old 7 surf rod, casts and reels smoothly

For a spincasting reel the best suited line is monofilament

The gears are also smooth and quiet

Pros Proven design many anglers trust Lets you spread out multiple lines Easy to see from a distance Good for stationary deadbait setups Cons Does not set the hook fish often drop the bait before you reach the hole Prone to freeze-up in wind and extreme cold Requires handling exposed line Slow reaction time Not ideal for lures or jigging-style presentations Freeze-Up Behavior Tip-ups freeze easily because: The spool sits in cold water Line is exposed Wind splashes water back onto the mechanism If temperatures drop below ~10F (12C), maintenance becomes constant

Although Shimano has made it easier to replace a faulty bearing, it is still a con because you have to periodically maintain the part
