Fishing is an age-old pastime enjoyed by people all around the world. There are countless ways to go fishing, but one of the most popular is using a baitcaster. A baitcaster is a type of fishing reel that’s designed for precision casting and accuracy. Baitcaster drag systems, help you control the amount of resistance on the fishing lines when a fish bites. https://gearknacks.net/
