How Fast to Reel in a Bass
When a bass is fastened at the end of a long cast the tendency of the angler is to hurry him in to the boat, where he can be played to more advantage. This often results in the loss of the fish. It should be remembered that a quadruple multiplying reel is of lightning speed, and consequently fast cranking is not only unnecessary but risky. When fishing in very weedy waters, however, it is often a case of speedy reeling or the loss of the fish in the weeds. Here the situation offers only a choice of evils, and the balance of advantage is probably on the side of fast reeling. A bass can imbed himself in a mass of weeds in an unappreciable moment, and you will then often lose not only fish but tackle. As a general rule, however, avoid trying to lead a big fish until he shows an inclination for being led.
