I spent this morning at Willard slow trolling Fligs for catfish. One rod had an Ambassadeur 6600 with the clicker, the other was a spinning outfit. Both worked, each accounting for 2 fish. The Ambassadeur requires little attention, simply wait until it sings, however I wonder how many fish drop the bait before I can reach it. The spinning reel is the opposite and requires constant monitoring. I looked away long enough for a course adjustment and when I turned around the rod was bent to the water and the drag was running away, unfortunately this fish carried a hook remover.
So I was wondering how many folks prefer a clicker or not.
I did learn one important lesson today, cut the spines off before you toss kitty's into the livewell. Trying to remove the drain plug from a livewell full of hyper active catfish is like playing fully automatic dodgeball, it sounds like fun but it really isn't.
