Welcome to the forums! Jeff

I used Red Label for the first time earlier in December. I went to BPS the Monday after thanksgiving and it was the only Seaguar they had on the shelf in 17lb. which is what I use in Mexico. I used it for 4 1/2 days without a breakoff in Mexico with bass up to 9.18lbs. Abrasion was comparable to Invisx(which is what I normally use), but the stiffness is much more noticeable. I was able to contain it with KVD L&L for use for 4.5 days, but I think if it sat on my reel all week, and then I had to use it again, it might be a nightmare. I will stick to Invisx, but know that the Red Label will work in a pinch, Jeff

With persistence, there is usually a payoff! We are rooting for you! Jeff

Nice fish! I love it when they will eat the jerkbait! Jeff

Congrats on the PB! Jeff

Any plastic that moves a lot of water works. I normally stick to darker colors as well! There isn't just one I fish. There are many! Jeff

I don't want to come off as contradictory here but; in the last couple of years, there have been several DD bass come out of the TN river chain. Almost all of them, including the supposed 14lber, we're caught on the Alabama Rig. Reports from the 14lber coming on a spinnerbait were false. I have not heard of a 8 lb or bigger smallie out of a TN River chain in many years. Just doesn't happen. Roger, nor anyone from his guide service, have caught a 8 lb smallie or bigger, or a DD largemouth. I confirmed this with one of his guides. I am as big a fan of Pickwick and the TN River chain as the next guy, but let's not go spewing around stories we have heard with no proof. Jeff PS- congrats again on your DD. It is quite the accomplishment, and that is what I was trying to get at here in my little tirade!

Congrats on the PB and Weld keep catching em! Jeff

Sorry, can't help on a cranking stick. Jeff

I have several of the GLX rods, but none are the crank bait rods. Which specific models are you looking at? Jeff

Short horns are going down...... Jeff

Wish I had a K-Mart close. I would be all over this. If anyone has one and cleans them out of more than they need, let me know! Jeff

Good drinks and good friends! That is what this season is all about! I think I'll drink to that! Jeff

Welcome to the forums! Jeff

Awesome! I consider Pickwick my home lake. Not many DD's come out of there each year, and I have't come close there! HAHA! Congrats! Jeff

Congrats on the new PB. Give us more details. We want to hear the whole story. Lake,Lure, rod, reel, line and how it jumped 15 times and almost got wrapped in the trolling motor! Lol. Congrats again! Beautiful fish! Jeff

Me too! WPS! Go Hogs! Jeff

Brag away Pete. Every trip has a reason to brag. Never let the adventures of others deter you from bragging about your own! Jeff PS- Don't wait for next year to get out on the TN River......the fish are already biting! (Last Month)

I throw weightless flukes with a Core 50 and a Cumara m/f Jeff
