Very nice! Congrats! Jeff

Try some Seagaur Abrasix! Jeff

Welcome to the forums! Jeff

I need to hurry up and buy it. Just dragging around. I will get it one day. Jeff

I have 2 of the 2500's on Pinnacle Perfecta 7' ML/F rods and they are PERFECT!!! Jeff

With whose money? Jeff

I need a glass boat. AND to keep the one I have now. No big water like say....Lake Michigan. I plan on becoming an expert at Pickwick. No deep V needed. But I NEED a Ranger!! Jeff

I can't get the thought of a z118 on upgraded dual axle trailer with a 150 and all of the options out of my head right now. This might be the longest I have been struggling with this thought since I was a young boy with no job and just dreams. HELP

He is using the new models, but not yet the "Perfect 10's" Same ones you can buy at any tackle retailer right now! Jeff

Spool rod full of cheap backing. Then take a weight on the heaviest side of the rod it will be on, and casting it as far as I can. Then with the bail open, walking back to the lead. Cutting the cheap stuff off, and then putting that much braid/flouro on. Not scientific by any means but it works. Jeff

That is pretty funny. But I have heard the pole starter referred to as well as "drivers" in this announcement before! Jeff

Nice! Were you closer to Pickwick dam or Wilson? I heard a couple reports of a little cleaner water and better fishing towards Wilson this weekend. Jeff

My immediate thought was Bagley, but I didn't know the series! Jeff

Nice one! Was that today? What did you catch it on and where on the lake? Jeff

So like many of you, I got a spool of Tuf-Line Supercast. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/113671-new-tuf-line-supercast-free-line-offer/ I got the 12lb(6lb equiv) and spooled it up on my Stradic Ci4 2500 paired with a Pinnacle Perfecta 70 ML/F. My first impression was that it was somewhat limp and flexible. Much more so than the cheaper braids I have tried, but no quite as much as the more expensive one I have been using. But for spinning rods, I came to find out this is a GREAT thing. I fished all day with it today, catching 12 bass. Not the first tip-wrap. So if you are looking for a braid for a spinning rod to eliminate tip wrap, this is it. Secondly, it took well to a leader. I tied a modified albright knot to connect my 6lb Seaguar Invisx leader. No problems with that either. Thirdly, was that I noticed how quiet it was. Not only am I used to braid being noisy on retrieves, but also when fighting a fish. Not with this braid. Smooth and quiet. Lastly I will leave with this, I am not afraid to admit, that I set the hook into what I would assume was a big ole log. The reason I assume was I do not know, as it never moved, and I did not get my shakey head back. But what I do know is that it took a ton of effort to break of. And while I admit that I do not fish braid that often, I do know that when you pull hard to get something un-hung or just to break off, that the line usually digs into itself causing a mess, kink, or tough spot in the line. This one did not. While this is just my opinion of day 1, I look forward to seeing how it does on future trips! Jeff

Welcome to the forums! Jeff

Nice smallie! We fished hard today. Stained water and LOW, compared to what we are used to. About 4-5 feet lower than normal. Shad were non-existent, at least we couldn't find em. We did pick up 20 fish today, ALL on shakey heads. In the morning we found them in 20-25 fow and then by afternoon they were in 10-15. Water temps started about 47 and rose to a max of 52. My best 5 wouldn't have beat your 2, and neither would my partners. Now put them together and maybe....... Tough Jeff

I was doing it WHILE I read #4! LOL Jeff

Thanks. Headed out now. Jeff

Congrats on the win! What kind of water/structure did you catch them? We are headed out first thing in the am. Jeff

I like a 20-200 acre pond/lakes myself. Small boat and limited access. But then again, there is something special about big lakes on a river chain. The TN river chain and the lakes/rivers that connect it is awesome! Hmmmm, tough choice. I guess I like them all for different reasons! Jeff

bk- I am going with 100% American dog! The best kind you can have! Jeff

Pretty hard to come back from 15lbs down. Share away! Jeff

Why not??? I would love an "aircraft carrier" like front deck to fish off of! Jeff

I'm sure you can do with JUST a 522!!! :eyebrows: Jeff
