I throw it on a spinning rod Mod. Fast i'm not a huge fan of the heavier spy baits, so I usually don't throw them.

The sport lost a legend, crazy R.I.P.

Roboworm, I try to use other baits but I always go back. I need to try some of these other suggestions.

I'm pretty sure I know what you are talking about. This happens to me when I am using lighter lures and thinner braid. My theory is that usually lighter lures we tend to try and overpower the rod by speeding up to get a further casting distance. So usually what ends up happening is the spool tends t...
