Glad it was helpful! I recently changed my setup though. I recently changed from the Daiwa Beef Stick to the Okuma Crab Snare Special. I had to cut off 9” off the handle because it was too long as very uncomfortable to reel where I was hunched over. Went to Home Depot and got a 1” chair end cap to stick at the end of the handle. Now that I modified the length, it’s much more manageable and I love it. Also downgraded to a Penn 650ssm, smaller so it’s lighter and using 80lb beyond braid.
Top shot of mono is much cheaper than all braid! I recently changed my setup though to 80lb of beyond braid. I’m still able to cast far with my Okuma crab special rod.
Excellent video, thanks Lawrence! Great explanation, to the point, no filler!

@@Durasnarethanks for the update! Very helpful for a beginner like me!
This is the smart video. THANKS!
I like using 50lb braid with a top shot of mono. More casting distance.
