I use 10lb braid on lake erie for smallmouth fishing on both spinning & baitcasting. My favorite brands are suffix 832 & maxima braid. Most 10lb braid will break between 15 & 22 lbs so it is plenty strong. The smaller diameter allows me to get my jerkbaits deeper than 20 or 30lb braid. The increase in lure depth is a big advantage. I had a guy fishing with me that ripped his heavier braid off in anger after a day of less than successful fishing and added 10lb braid so he could be competitive. I add a mono/fluoro leader to the braid for visibility & abrasion protection.

You know you just had a great day when you mixed quantity with quality and they both won. Congrats on the PB day!

Rich I catch them all the time in early spring & fall when fishing for smallmouth on lake Erie. They love jerk baits especially the color white. My biggest on Erie was 16lbs on a pointer 100. They are a fun by catch.

My condolences. I have a good friend who is dealing with his wife's dementia and it hasn't been easy.

There is hope for me yet.

Pretty fish. Congrats on the first caught tiger.

The Cavs did have what it takes to beat GS but not with GS 's addition of KD. The Cavs need their own KD to be competitive now.

Great pics Mike.

Looks like a Canadian mixed bag.
