Well since you don't plan on catching any fish with them it doesn't matter, but they are just as fragile as senkos. Buy a bottle of mend it, if you decide to use them to catch fish, that is

These are great for swim jig trailers. Try the swimming fluke jr.

That makes sense. Try using a Q-tip and rub it around the inside of your guides and see if it tears it.

Braid on a spinning reel is so much easier to deal with than mono. I use 20lb power pro and I like it a lot. If I were to do it again I'd probably opt for 10-15 but 20 has been fine.

I have micro guides on my spinning rod and I use a 10lb leader tied with a double uni knot, I can cast even if the knot gets into the guides, it just makes weird noises when I do

Wow, that's weird. Is your spool over filled? It should be about an 1/8" from the edge of the spool. I've got 20lb pp on my spinning rod and I've never had issues like that.

My dad had feeders and houses all over the back yard. It was so peaceful to just sit and hear nothing but the wind and the birds. I had a few feeders shortly after we bought our house. But I gave up on it cause the raccoons destroyed all my feeders, and several new ones I put up.

I'd like to know to.

At least when you peed your pants you can blame it on wading

Clean... I like it!

I don't know about the abu rod, but isn't the Berkley Lightning a moderate rod or is that just the shock models?

I have 1 spinning setup, and 1 casting setup. I plan to add another budget mh/f, probably a moderate like a lightning shock for my treble hook baits and a kastking reel.

That does sound pretty sweet, I'm going to have to take a look!

I figured out the brand, but I'm not real familiar with their line of rods so I can't name a specific model but I do know what that paint style is!

Well good, now go buy that girl a nice ultralight setup so she can panfish while you bass fish! Glad things are working out for you two!

Good luck, thoughts and prayers headed your way!

It's to bad he had to go so soon, but at least he caught his first today!

It sucks, but in a few days it's going to make up for it! Is the water way up?

Funny you mention the circumstances with your friend passing, I caught my pb the day after my dad's funeral. Congrats on the new pb!

Man, sure sounds like you tried the whole water column. Are they spawning there? It can be a tough bite during the spawn but afterwards is awesome!

Heck yeah, I love that stuff! I did start with it on my spinning reel, then decided I would stop punishing myself and put braid one!

Went out with my son to an old rock quarry. Caught a bunch of bluegill and a 3lb largemouth

I already mentioned copolymer. He is already using 12lb copoly

Got out with my son today. We hit the creek for smallmouth, but it was up and running fast, we just couldn't locate them, so we walked over to a pond and caught a bunch of bluegill playing around with top water flies and I caught a 3 lb bass on a zman chatterbait. Not a great picture, hard to get him in the frame he was so big

I have got to find better places to fish
