Have you tightened the drag down. Turn the star wheel clockwise. It's located under the reel handle.

I've been using this for a few years. It's a proven winner! Seaguar BasiX

They just crush this little guy during early prespawn!

Ya, well, there are always exceptions. Check this out: https://www.bassresource.com/fishing/catch_and_release.html

Here's mine:

Yup, tracking studies have shown that bass caught all over a large lake and released at the tournament launch location have been known to: 1. Stay in the new (to them) area 2. Travel many miles back to where they were caught - sometimes traveling great distances with an day or two 3. Relocate somewhere in-between. Just depends on too many factors to list here, but we have plenty of information here on the topic (hence the "Resource" part of our name). https://www.bassresource.com/hank-parker-fishing/tracking-bass-movements.html https://www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/bass-floods.html https://www.bassresource.com/fishing/smallmouth-bass-movements.html https://www.bassresource.com/fishing/tracking_trophies.html https://www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/fish-behavior.html

I've done that, but wasn't dumb enough to TELL them! LOL However I did have to turn down 2 job offers. Guess I didn't need the practice. LOL

It's a good time to review these tips. This isn't your normal, boring safety video:

The leader material used in TactX is very similar to Red Label Fluoro. So, it has great abrasion resistance and overall strength, but it is not a soft and supple as Gold Label Hope this helps About half the cost of other braids.

If you're used to DYI outboard maintenance, this is no different. And Suzuki has always made competitively priced products. But hey, it's fun to make up stuff, isn't it?

TactX is a brute! Extremely strong, and extremely affordable. Love this stuff!

New video! Pro Drew Cook explains how he fishes plastic worms from the bank for monster bass!

I don't block sites simply because they're a competitor. That's really petty. The only ones that are blocked are due to spamming activities. No, there's no list. But there's very few to be concerned about anyway. Just post as you normally do, and if the name turns into *** when it's posted, then you'll know.

My local BPS only offers trout and salmon gear.

This how we roll...

^^ Beautiful! ^^

Yup, it's a good channel. While he was here, he PM'd me and asked me a lot of questions about videos, and I was happy to offer advice. Then he launched his channel and, as Hee-Haw would say, "and pfft! you were gone"

You didn't say what kind of boat you have. But with a 600 acre lake, you won't get big rollers or major whitecaps. You'll be fine in a fiberglass boat. But if you're in a aluminum cartopper (or similar), boat control could become a problem. That said, comfort is something to consider too. Fighting the wind with a trolling motor takes your focus off fishing. And when the wind gets to a point where I have to cast upwind to compensate in order to get accurate casts, it's no longer fun for me. It's work. Unless the bite is on like Donkey Kong, I'm out. I've done more than my fair share of fishing in strong winds to know there's plenty of better days ahead than to force it against Mother Nature.
