That's a big shad! I've seen some big uns, mostly dead and floating, caught a few as well. But wow, that's a beast.

I consider most of what I throw and how I fish to be "finesse". I've been in some hefty winds with white caps and can attest an anchor or anchor pin is quite helpful. That said, when I want to throw wacky, in order to get the bait down, I'll tie on a wacky jig. Have to keep the rod tip down in the higher winds. More weight, obviously, will help your bait get down to your desired depth better....

Disgraceful...just...ugh. Dareus injured. Playcalling/playacting awful. I'm bummed. Why do I hold out hope year after year after year?! Hey wait, isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result?!

Pour me a glass as I mourn the loss my Bills took to the Raiders tonight.

Agreed. Though I've had some success with the lesser/lighter "siblings", the Mojo and split-shot rigs.

Likewise, stay safe sound and have a great Christmas.

I like to think of copoly as a "do-it-almost-all" line. Like an SUV of fishing lines. Can go anywhere, do anything. But...I use it as a leader attached to braided mainline.

Yes you can. It is different than pure FC, but you could use it for everything if you need to. I use copoly for most everything I throw. I will use FC, but not often.

Nice outing!

Well done!! A beast!

Lots of wacky rigging info on the site - do a search for more. In the mean time, 95% of the time I rig right through the worm around the egg sack, I lose some, but not enough to cause me worry. On some I've slid on some shrink wrap and slide the hook through it.

Congrats! Much to be proud of!

Why? I use 1000FI models for bass fishing. Caught quite a few bass over 6 pounds on them. They are extremely capable reels. And good luck, Weld! Catch some beasties.

i'd go with the Pro. Reasons you outlined, lighter, higher gear ratio, enough to go up. Personally, I actually prefer an underspin reel like the Abu 276U

What everybody said. It's good stuff, protects cork, keeps it looking good, etc...

May he continue speedy recovery!

Holy cow! That bluegill is a BEAST!

Yep. See, you can trust *whatEVER* we tell you....

Welcome aboard!

That's pretty cool!

A formal welcome aboard, Goose!

But some would argue that you get more heft with your left.
