  1. I mainly use 15# now, but I also use 10# on one. I'm fine with 10#, actually, but I got a killer deal on a 1500 yard spool of PowerPro SuperSlick 8 in 15# that I couldn't pass on. Anyhow, I use leaders from 4-15# but mainly 6, 8, 10. Line is either Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Gamma Edge fluoro.
  2. I like to use braid for mainline on spinning reels. It is better for line management. But to each his/her own. I also prefer a leader attached in order to keep my mainline from depleting too fast for the many hook ties I might do on an outing.
  3. Welcome aboard, dude!

  9. All 1000 size Stradics all the time for me! But nothing over 6'6" for me, either.
  10. I hit up Lee Hall Reservoir yesterday... A beautiful day to be on the water. But the wind was pretty wicked. So glad I have a motor . Terrible day for a single bite. Even a nibble. As for dogwoods in my yard, still in the budding stage. Although a slight yellow tinge of pollen was all over my Rav4. Ah yes, springtime in Virginia.
  11. Welcome aboard, Logan! Trick Worm can be fished, as mentioned above, in so many different ways. Slow and steady, TX. Wacky, weighted wacky, and the list goes on....
  12. I haven't tried it yet, but my eldest son has. He seemed to enjoy the shave, but with the time it took to do so, he gave it up.... Still want to and probably will soon.
  13. Now that's a football! Wow! Awesome catch! Congrats!

  16. Welcome aboard! if you want guesses, there should be something to compare it to - rod, your shoes (and size), something! Even better, invest in a scale!
  17. I'm just...Darren. Simplicity, no guessing, my name.

    After a nice hot day on the water (hot temps, that is) and only at home, I might down a Bud Light Platinum. If I've made a run to Total Wine, it might be some Yeti, or other tasty stout brew. Or some cab or merlot. Maybe.... But on the water, bottled water, and coffee.

  22. This is a neat solution.
