To help you avoid that fate, Ive used my musky fishing experience as well as input from trusted guides to compile a list of the best musky reels
I have a 10 x 6.5 v nose wheelhouse and space is always a consideration
Perfectly suited for chasing down Stripeys, this rod features a slightly darker, heavier gold anodising, a newly designed Septon power handle and a drilled drag quadrant with a drag curve that's better suited to New Zealand conditions
I think a large part of it is the size, again emphasizing the importance of thinking small in the fall
On the other hand, longer rods excel in techniques that benefit from greater casting distance, such as throwing deep-diving crankbaits
The entire weight of whatever you are casting needs to be factored in
