Yes, Yo Zuri is fine for topwater based on my personal experience.
-
This is what I picked up for the meantime because they had a 110 yard spool for like $3. I'll give some of the other lines a shot when I get bored, but I am probably going to pick up some PP since I can't get Yo-Zuri local.

Another vote for a Curado.

You didn't "convert" me to braid; I am already using it on my spinning rod. I just didn't consider it for my UL setup, but you've convinced me to consider it. That's all. Braid does handle better, but Elite handles fantastically itself.
-
Thanks. You have effectively persuaded me into considering braid.

Nothing better than a smallie slamming a spook as the sun is barely rising and the fog is just rolling off the water.

True enough. But I kinda figured the fun of light line fishing was knowing that you had to be careful. With 15# braid, you can fish where ever you want and horse any fish out. That's just me and my personal preference, though, and I could be in the wrong mindset.

Something something something no political posts something something. The healthcare debate follows essentially the same party lines and is just as polarizing. Appetite for destruction.

For ultra light? Kinda heavy, no?

I just picked up a new Trion to use as my panfish reel and don't know what line I want to put on it. I am leaning towards Sufix Elite because I know I will like it and it's inexpensive, but I am wanting to try new lines. I don't want to spend $20 on a spool, so that means no Invizx (which would have been choice #2). It's been a while since I used Trilene mono and even longer since I used the low pound test, so I don't know how well it handles. That is my main concern is the line memory (I do use line conditioner). Strength and sensitivity are obviously not a huge concern. Braid seems like it would be overkill. Just looking for suggestions to expand my horizons.

I've straightened hooks with 10# PP.

Pretty solid of Rocky to take out that ad in the paper. Pure class.

You've got a weird definition of communism.....

I swear I remember a thread from last year or the year before where the consensus was just the opposite. A number of people claimed that the fish "knew" the water shouldn't be that high and wouldn't go there because instincts told them they could potentially be left high and dry.

Not to brown nose him any further (he gets that enough), but this is truly what sets Gene abover and beyond the rest. I aim to watch fishing shows to learn techniques and guys like Gene tell you how to use the technique instead of what equipment to do the technique with. It's fine if a guy says "I am dropshotting with X bait, X reel and X rod" as long as he also says WHY he made those choices and as long as those reasons aren't "BECAUSE THIS BRAND AND THIS BRAND ONLY IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST (because they paid me to say that)". ExtremeAnglerTV is significantly bad at this, but fun to watch. "I'm using a St. Croix rod for this frog technique today because St. Croix rods are the best rods money can buy" is nearly verbatim what he says every episode.

This right here is what you should rule out first. I can't tell you how many times I have went to a new place and though I had a ton of bites only to find out they were overly eager panfish. Throw a small jig and grub, inline spinner or a beetle spin (depending on how weedy the water is) just to pull something out. If you are getting that many non-commital bites, I'd put money on them being bluegill or maybe small small bass.

Just picked up a brand new Pflueger Trion micro (4520) for $19!!

Too many, but a few off the top: Billy Idol: Rebel Yell Drowning Pool: 37 Stitches Drowning Pool: Bodies Suidakra: Darkane Times Suidakra: Pendragons Fall

I did encounter bleeding with my red PP. It got all over my veritas, but did not stain and I could wipe it right off.

I was about 12 or 13 and my dad rented a boat for the two of us on Lake Koshkonong. We pulled up to this little cove and started fishing. I started throwing a pop-r and the fish went nuts. No fish of any real size, but the numbers were there. I fished a lot when I was a kid, but never caught many fish, so that day was extra special because it was more fish than I had ever caught in my short life. I don't think I've had a day since that I've caught that many. Well, it was mid-summer and I was wearing some Nike hat backwards and this hat had the swoosh as part of the snap in back. My face got sun burnt and I had to go to school with a Nike swoosh on my forehead.

Welp, looks like I have some more baits to buy..... Thanks guys.
