I fish 20 lb Tatsu south of the border - hard. Great line IMO. As for the diameter vs other FC and Mono at the same test, it's a 'little thinner' but not enough to make a small capacity reel seem over sized. I'd say, if you need 20 FC and you're not bombing casts, this is a good choice for that reel. If you Need 20 FC and plan on putting baits into orbit, I'd consider a bigger reel or perhaps go to a braid. Good Luck A-Jay

Nope ~ It's a Total Krap Shoot. I got tired of trying to figure out what type of totally inconsistent wizardry they used. So now I fill just about every reel I have with 1/3 third spool mono backing and top the rest of it off with whatever my mainline of choice for that reel may be; FC / Braid. Don't really need mono backing for a mono reel. A-Jay

15 lb Tatsu is a bit pricey on TW - unless you have a coupon. Amazon is almost always cheaper https://www.amazon.com/Seaguar-200-Yard-Fluorocarbon-Fishing-15-Pound/dp/B003OAVUMK/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3J8W3BG6H96MX&keywords=seaguar%2Btatsu%2B15&qid=1647199819&sprefix=seaguar%2Btatsu%2B15%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1 A-Jay

No question that there is a list of things I can't do now that I could, 10 or 20 years ago. But it's not a long list. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

The only components I'll retain is the guide train and that's only if it's it most perfect condition. Not sure I'd be able to 're-use' much of the rest. Don't possess the experience or skill for that that deal. I do use an old rod section hacked up just past the handle to strip or add line in the tackle room. Good Luck A-Jay

Attempting to tow your boat on the trailer in any manner other than it was designed, will at some point damage something. My guess, the first thing to go would be your trailer jack/wheel. It's not meant for all terrain nor that type of stress; I'd not recommend it. That said, I can feel you pain. I fish from a Rigged out canoe that I trailer. There are many places I can launch & recover easily and some places I just have to pass on. This sounds like of of those. You could always get a kayak. Good Luck A-Jay

A TOY company makes an action figure of YOU What TWO accessories does it come with ? Bonus points if you name him/her Mine is wearing a complete HUK Outfit and is carrying a Poop-a-Scooper I'm actually afraid to put a name to that . . . A-Jay

These lines work well for me as well. I will add that Power Pro Maxcuatro is also very good for me. Just don't ask me to pronounce it. A-Jay

Off Day today ~ and I need it. It's also 'meal prep day'. 4.5 lbs Garlic Herd Chicken Thighs (broiled) 3 lbs Ground Turkey (93/7) Browned Baked Sweet Potatoes Basmati Rice w/Turmeric Whole Grain Pasta (blend of semolina, lentils, chick peas with oats, flaxseed and barley) Steamed Broccoli, Green Beans & Asparagus . Cooking this stuff in advance and in bulk is the way to go for me. Takes some time and effort today but helps keep me on track in the long run. Missing meals is counter productive. I'll hammer away on this until it's almost gone and then ramp it all up again. #feedajay A-Jay

Sub-zero wind chill here this morning. But next week's forecast has me smiling A-Jay

Very sorry to hear this @Mike L Hope the misses can feel better very soon. A-Jay

It's like me and my shadow . . . . A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ Nice Intro A-Jay

Thank you. A-Jay

That's what I thought too ! Let's hope the new state record Brown Bass feels the same way. #overlyoptimistic A-Jay

I think I'm headed in the right direction ~ A-Jay

I do not know for sure what they see or don't see. I can guess. What I do know is what baits put bass in my net. This is one of those for me. A-Jay

Can't say for sure ~ The bait I have is a JDM. The body is sort of Clear / Ghost with the pattern on top; sort of mello. Also there is no color bright chartreuse on the top of the head like the bait currently displayed on TT and TW. @Eric 26 I fish these Hard. https://youtu.be/6Ds4Z22ywnY?t=119 A-Jay

Been hunting this one down for a while. Finally found one over in the Motherland. #superrare A-Jay

@ChrisD46 I'm a huge fan of the Quantum KVD composite sticks, including the MH/M's. Been fishing them successfully for a few years now. Unfortunately, they were discontinued. However along with KVD's newest sponsorship with Lew's came their version of what looks like the same rod. I do not have any of the Lew's but if I needed to replace what I have, I'd try one or two. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lews_KVD_Composite_Cranking_Casting_Rods/descpage-LKVDCC.html Good Luck with your choice A-Jay

And I want to know who thought trading Refroe for JBJ was an UPGRADE ! #whatamaroon A-Jay

Hello Greg and welcome to Bass Resource ~ If you go into your 'profile' (click on your avatar) you should be able to find what you're looking for. A-Jay

Zero degrees here as I post this morning with snow returning to northern Michigan this afternoon and last into Saturday. Expecting Gusty winds spawning blowing and drifting snow at times, creating hazardous travel conditions into Saturday morning for some areas. And here I am thinking about open water. I must be outside of my own mind . . . . Either way, it's fish catch Friday ~ Going back to my first season fishing the pre-spawn on Lake Menderchuck West. I had A Day 3 Weeks 5 Days & a Wake up.
