So I recently just bought a spool of 12lb Vicious Fluorocarbon at clearance pricing. I will primarily be using it for cranks and traps. Has anybody used this line before and how is it?

its not that loud; its just bugs me a bit when I retrieve it in. I can hear it, but it doesn't grind but it also isn't exactly that smooth.

Also supposed to be more sensitive. Key word is "supposed"

The weather gods are cursing us for global warming

Wouldn't 20lb braid be a little light. Just curious, because I usually 20lb briad for my bass setups.

Nice... here in NJ, we just got another half foot of snow on the first day of Spring.

Lol over here it is just starting to snow. First day of spring and a half foot of snow.

If its gone after a day, then it probably isn't algae. Probably just some muck that got turned over from the bottom by carp.

Have you noticed any fish lying belly up in the water? If so, then it probably is a red algae bloom AKA fishkill.

It has to do with the wavelength of light. Unless someone here is a physics major or knows the workings of rods and cones in a eye, then there probably wont be a definite answer.

20$ braid

Its not that noisy... its just not as smooth and refined as I expected. From what I have heard, the problem is that Wright and McGill doen't oil or lube their reels before selling them. Im pretty sure the reel itself is fine; its just that I need to clean and lube it up.

Straight out of the box... small noise coming from the handle side of the reel.

So I recently just bought a Skeet Reese Victory Reel. It sounds very noisy, so I want to lube and clean it. I have no idea of what to do, so can somebody tell me how to do this? As of now, I only have oil, but I will probably end up buying more cleaning and lubing materials.

Personally, throwing treble hook lures like big swimbaits are not usually that good in small ponds. Unless you want to get hung up a lot in the weeds, I would suggest downsizing to a smaller swimbait like a fluke or shad.

Its what you use to make sure the weight doesn't slide up and down your line. I mostly use a tooth pick, but there are probably better solutions. Without a pegged weight, it is nearly impossible to punch through any sort of cover.

Peg the heavy sinker and you should be able to punch through any cover except for the most thick.

Flip or pitch with a texas rig craw.

You can't really know unless you take a picture of one of the fry..... most tiny fish look a lot alike.

lol I would definetly eat one. I'm Chinese, so they are a native fish for us. My family has a few special recipes for those snakes.

Crankbait, Spinnerbait, Chatterbait Casting Rod 6'6 medium heavy moderate Jig, Topwater Casting Rod 7'0 medium heavy fast action Fineese and Wacky Spinning rod 7'0 medium action.

Could have been minnows or shiners.

Rainbow Trout and Walleye. Pickerel are actually pretty good once you start fileting them well.

Dang... that's the darkest bass I have ever seen

Flip a jig right in front of its face. Or just wait for the bass to stop bedding.....
