Fishing live bait?????

[Jimmyz123]

I have done both ways usually depending on the strength of the bait. If while in free spool the bait is pulling too much line with the clicker on, then I'll put it in gear on very light drag. There's also the method of wrapping a rubber band around the line and rod for stronger baits, but for the most part it's either light drag or free spool, but I let the bait determine what I do.
