dfly...float to a bank location,if needed a longer cast and if needed for a longer run with the best presentation to as close to a natural drift as you can get. Added bonus is a 1:1 retriveve,spooled 80% of the time. most sensitive responce(DIRECT braking/line management) The ony mechanical advantage is a clicker and some do have drags. None of mine will have mech. drags. It doesen't get any more sporting than that) Mono vs piscal.
