Ill let yall know when im ready to purchase an open face set up


Don't be intimidated by the open face reel. If you are backlashing a lot it means the reel isn't properly adjusted. Find someone that owns a ton of open face reels and get them to show you how to properly adjust the reel. Once you get an open faced adjusted they are extremely easy to cast. I had a buddy that was trying to learn how to use open face for years. One day I decided to really help him and I couldn't even cast his setup the way he had it adjusted.

Thanks for the advice.

Any advice on tackle?

I ordered some 10lb test line, which is what the reel said "10lb/240yds". Also ordered some 1/16oz and 1/8oz black worm head weights, and some 4/0 hooks (all recommended to me by the guys ive been fishing with), and a bag of blue and black 10.5in worm (it looked similar to what they have been putting me fishing with).
