GREMLIN ROUND SHOT W

You might think a good squid imitation would look like a squid, but the overall profile and movement of the lure is more important than details like tentacles to a bass

I have a 5600 BCX reel, I cannot get it to cast more than 3 ft, currently have a 4 lbs line, have tried everything i can think of, have tried weights, it turns feely but just wont cast, any ideas

You'll probably want to fill the spool a little closer to the rim (maybe 80 to 90% of max capacity) to cope with the runs of powerful fish and choose a line with a breaking strain appropriate to the fish you're targeting (and the terrain you're fishing)
