I am completely satisfied with 7# test Sunline Sniper FC on my spinning reel. Cast great and seems stronger than 7# test.

A 17 foot isn't going to be a whole lot better. I have a 17 ft. and I really have to be careful and check what the wind is going to do on that day I go fishing. I am not saying you can't fish in a 17ft but if I was regular tournament fishing, I would go with a 20 ft or bigger.

Doesn't matter where you caught it or what you caught it on, the biggest you ever caught is your PB.

Never had a problem with the Shroomz head. I still put a dab of glue at the head. I use 7# Sniper with a Lews med. action rod.

Love the Bomber Flat A, still have the Mark Davis Signature one.

Congrats, nice fish !!!!

My Lowe is a '96 I think. It is all welded, doesn't leak a drop. I think they are a great buy !!!

Got the one Lew's brought back. I had one before but somehow lost it. I have always got my crankbait with this one.

I think the uni is easier to tie but I prefer the Alberto knot because I think it goes through the guides better.

Have you thought about a Power Pole Micro Anchor. Don't know the weight of your boat but it takes up to 1500lbs.

About 20 years ago I pulled up to the dock from all day fishing. When I tied my boat up I was looking up at the sky and lost my balance and fell in. Well if that wasn't enough, when I came up my prescription sunglasses was gone. Got the boat loaded and took a Bagley DB3 and started casting for them. On the 10th cast I caught them. That was about a $350 cast.

WOW!!! Great looking fish !!!!

14 or 16# Sunline Sniper. I can't tell much difference than using mono. Don't need no line conditioner.

I like 5.1:1 for crankbaits, always have. Anything else is 6.8:1, then again I like 6'6" rods.

What he said !!!

Sunline, I use their mono, braid, and FC, great line !!!!

I have used this ^^^^ and also some very fine steel wool.

I run ethanol free gas and use Sea Foam every 4th tank.

I was running ethanol gas at the first of last year when I got my boat, the last few months I found a station that was ethanol free. My boat cranks better and idles better. I am running a 90hp 1997 Johnson. Only ethanol free for me. I still run Sea Foam every 3rd or 4th tank.

Lew's reels on a BPS CarbonLite Rod, hard to beat.

Have several tool holders.

Thanks for the reminder !!!

I used the TRD with the Shroom head with the weedguard. Super easy to set the hook with 7# test line. Warning, if you start fishing it you might get 'hooked' on it. It flat catches a bunch of fish. Junebug is my favorite color.

One of my main baits on my Carolina Rig. Got a friend who fishes it Texas Rig but I have not tried it. I bet it would work great.

^^^^ This, Z-Man baits are tough. One TRD will last all day and then some.
