Re: Click or No Click?

I try not to use a clicker as much as possible. I think with the very cold water conditions right now. Fish are just mouthing the bait softly. any tension what so ever they might spit the bait. Try thumbig your spool. When you get the slightest of bites give a little line. It might help.
