Set the hook when you feel the weight of the fish. It doesn't matter if your fishing braid, fluoro, mono, or dental floss. Hooksets are free, swarp on em!

I'd say save your money and return the lews and get another one.

@gall yes with an fg knot. It's the only connection knot I use. I practiced for awhile before taking it out on the water when I was learning it. For that small of mono I used 30 wraps, just in case. And since it was on spinning gear with bigger guides, I didn't have to worry about knot length. Normal knot ill use 24 wraps (30-50lb braid, 10-17lb leader). Least I've went is 20. I always end with an even number of wraps that way the half hitch knots are easier to tie at the end. And I trim my tags as flush as possible with leader knot. But I really cinch my knots down.

I have tied a #15 daiwa j-braid x4 mainline to a 4lb mono leader with no technical issues. Only thing that struggled was my eyes seeing that small diameter line. I believe the braid I was using is similar or smaller in diameter than 832.

I've gotta get out to newton soon! Never been there but I heard it can be good at times

Cool looking fish, looks pike-ish from the stripes.

What about Some of the little creeper trash fish?

I just ordered one. Hated that it was lefty retrieve but couldn't pass it up. It will be my go to heavy pitching reel. Big line, big bass, big baits.

It's for after you drunk too many wine coolers and pass out. Keeps you from rolling in the water

Here's my question, is there big ones in there? I fished a small pond for 10 years. After managing it and trying to get the quality and quanity right, I still never caught one over 15 inches. Some bodies of water just won't grow big ones. Especially if max depth is 5'

Nailed it!

I'd say 4lb 10 oz.

Cabelas Tournament Z X 7'5 mh crankshaft

The eyes in it are weird. Similar to the cabelas laser eye crankbaits, but I don't have a clue on what it actually is lol

I didn't know they were only rated for that. That's kinda sad. We build the highlander, sequoia, And Dianna at my plant here in southern indiana. Hard to believe 1000 highlanders a day come out of that plant and we still can't keep up

Can't go wrong with a toyota. I feel like they make the best of the best of every style of vehicle. The new rav4's are nice. And not too pricey.

Well, anything can happen in the white river lol

I've never even heard of anybody fishing the white river for anything but catfish and striper down here.

I wouldn't suggest fishing vegetation with anything less than 30lb, a 6'6 Or 7' mh fast action is as light as I would go. As for reels I'd looks for whichever has the best/most drag. Hope these tips help. Also comfort play somewhat of a role to me when picking out a new combo

Curious as well. Following

Any place close to 47665 that Ive got a good chance to land a smallie? Don't have em down here

falcon run very light. I have a 7'4 heavy I bought for jigs that I am gonna use for squarebills and lipless cranks. Maybe the occasional swim jig. It is parabolic for a fast action, and is over powered with a 3/8 ounce jig. I would say go with the dobyns. I think they run very true to their power and have a great reputation.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Same here with my best friend/fishing buddy. He's a Chuck and winder! I try to be as methodical and boring as possible. But in being that way I am very productive.
