Ultra Light Spinning - What Kind Of Line ?
I use a copolymer fishing line. Mainly Excaliber Silver Thread copolymer. I use 4lb line for trout, 6lb for bass. I seen 5lb line somewhere. As far as treble hooks in trees once there dug in there impossible to get out. Stay calm when casting, don't rush.

Sight Line Fishing
Ok I have another thought. It our topwater stuff isn't working tie on a spinnerbait and reel it just slow enough below the sight line where we can't see it. Try a white spinnerbait or chartruese color spinnerbait or your favorite spinnerbait. Remember when the topwater action isn't working. I hope your willing to post your results.

Ok What's The Truth Did A Miss Something?
I feel like rip van winkle not owning a boat technology has passed me by?? You use two fish finders so one shows your lure going to the fish? Not only can you find fish you can target each one? I think this is what I saw on espn the other day. Darn for a shore Fisherman even with my cast out portable fish finder I'm in the stone age. It's not one on one anymore it's ok I just fast forwarded a century. Lmao

Found Three New Casting Rods.
Found two more new casting rods. The R2S brand river 2 sea. Both 6' casting rods one med/lt, one lt. Both are kind of whippy at the 1/3rd upper section good for casting lighter baits. Anyone use R2S rods?

The Wife
Same here there all the same brother. Now if my first gut feeling is to buy it I jump on it. I caught Heck for buying a leaf blower once. After 25 years of service the fuel line leaks. I told her to man the rakes till I fix it or get a new one. Watch how fast we get a new one. Lmao Fishing equipment over rides everything now.

I Want A Light Or Super Light Rod For Less Than $100
A 6' med/lt or a lt rod can have some upper flexibility for tossing lighter baits. But the line test matters. I prefer a lt 5'/5'6" rod with 6lb test.

Found Three New Casting Rods.
I put things aside when I found out I had cancer. Time stops when we hear the BIG C? But today medicine is unbelievable.I'm doing ok now. I think about life different now. Beating cancer is like catching a new world record LMB 10X over. If any BR brother has cancer and you want to just talk im here. Been there done that seriously. It's not the end. Nothing will ever beat me down.

Waste Of Two Years, Time For A New Job
The only good advice my mom ever said was you have good benefits, good pay someone else has the headaches. I told my boss I don't want his job, I'm a worker not a politician. You handle the politics, ill handle the work.

I seen the gaudy plain colors that the combo c electors picked. I think the newer lure colors preform way better with the color c lectors. KVD uses one on tough days.

Waste Of Two Years, Time For A New Job
I was happy being a group leader in the test lab in the engineering group. Go any further in management no freaking way. Any move up in management I'd own my own business if I'm going to call the shots. Corporate level Engineering group test lab job vs in the woods logging. The corporate benefits were great the $$ was great but I was happier in the woods. Being retired is good.
