"free lining" real bait is my favorite of favorites if I am not jigging , well almost , floats are the bomb
we target big catfish in ponds with a just a hook and a front half of a bluegill .
used to carp fish a lot when I was a kid and we "free lined " carp baits the same way .
love to lay a rod down and open the bail and wait for the line to go peeling off it .....
nothing beats a pick it up and flip the bail and lean into em like a lumberjack hook set .
snapped a rod or 2 doing it , hard on the equipment to hit a running away big fish full steam ahead .
but REALLY good for the soul :highfive
Sounds like you needed a bait runner reel there Ketchn!
