Do ya camp reels for deep-drop tiles etc?
When I started bottom-fishing I clamped all of my reels for added security.
Then I realized it was unnecessary, it was uncomfortable and inconvenient.
Tile-fishing is different as reels are a lot more expensive, the fish are generally bigger, stronger and potentially much bigger and stronger. There is also more strain on the rod & reel due to the extreme depth, extreme size of the sinkers / jigs along with the strain due to the previously mentioned fish.
All of that being said, do you guys clamp or not?
Thanks!
