Got a question. When your free spooling as your drag.

what is the drag setting before/during the hook set? 

Also, setting drag for spinning and caster. How much tension should it be at? If I pull on the line with my hand how hard should it be to pull the line out? 

Thank you blat.

I got a question. I started fishing a year ago. I never had the experience of growing up fishing. In your LIVE were you speak about becoming a specialist. You talk about using a lure you’re very comfortable with or confident in or enjoy. I have thrown every bait I got my hands on. But in your shakeyhead workshop you mention gateway baits can you tell me any other gateway baits? I probably pick one of them as my first specialization. Also what do you suggest as a first bait you would specialize in? 

Thank you!

in AZ it’s always summer…. Sounds good to me.

It was a crank bait can’t remember what one, the lure was as big as he was.

I’m hopeful to learn much, and glad to be here Brian. I live in Arizona, I hit up some city parks for a quick cast but mostly go to Bartlett Lake, Lake Pleasant and Rosevelt Lake. As to what I want to work on I’m currently doing some watching of your exclusive content to answer that one. So I will let you know when I figure it out. A big concept I just learned from one of your live classes was “become a specialist”. Thank you
