Why the preference for injured prey? Well, it's quite simple. Firstly, it's a guaranteed meal. Injured prey cannot dart out of the area as fast as non-injured prey. For fish to hunt - they want the odds in their favor - just like we do! Also, as fish get bigger - they are not necessarily as agile and quick...so, catching a non-injured meal becomes even more unrealistic. Thus, this reel is not only an excellent tool for catching fish - it's the most advantageous reel you could own for catching BIG fish!

Secondly, predatory fish prefer an injured meal because it saves them energy. It would be a totally unrealistic option for them to be chasing around every little minnow they see - and actually impossible to do so, when the water's cold! Colder water makes them more lethargic, thus the injured meal becomes the ONLY option.

Most fishermen are aware that a little jerking of the line as your retrieve is good - but it would be IMPOSSIBLE for ANY fisherman to reel their line in and imitate an injured bait with the believability and frequency that this reel does for you. Thus, whoever you are - if you use this reel, your catch rate will increase. Depending on where you like to fish, where you live, the season, etc. - your stand to increase your catch rate by up to 2:1!
