Nice fish!

Siebert Outdoors makes a fine spinnerbait: http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/Spinnerbaits_c9.htm

If you were thinking about trying it, now would be a great time! Extraordinary knot strength and castability •The world’s only double structure fluorocarbon mainline -made with two custom, 100% Seaguar fluorocarbon resins, extruded in one solid piece. •This process creates a tough, but soft exterior, with greatly enhanced inner strength unequaled by any other line on the planet. •It is very soft and supple with exceptional knot and impact strength. •Pound for pound, it is Seaguar’s strongest and softest line. • Available in 4 to 25 pound test on 200 and 1,000 yard spools

The Omega is a much better reel.

I think you wou7ld be surprised with Seaguar Smackdown, the best I have ever fished! SMACKDOWN SLEEK, ULTRA-STRONG 8-STRAND BRAID This next generation Seaguar braid is so thin that 20 lb test has the diameter of 6 lb monofilament! Smackdown Braid is made with 8 ultra-thin, micro-weave strands in a round, smooth-casting profile with extra sensitivity. It provides exceptional knot and tensile strength with unparalleled abrasion resistance.

Nice fish, great pics!

Nothing I can think of right now. However, all of the reels I have kept that are a decade old perform better today than the day I took them out of the box!

10" Rage Tail Thumper is my go-to, the Anaconda a close second. http://www.ragetail.com/news/color-charts/rage-thumper-color-selection/ http://www.ragetail.com/news/color-charts/rage-anaconda-color-selection/ Ledge fishing is the predominate application for me with big worms. My gear is a G. Loomis MBR844C/ Shimano CTE200GT/ 40# Seaguar Smackdown with 25# Flippin' Fluorocarbon leader/ 1/2 ounce tungsten bullet weight and a Trokar 6/0 EWG hook.

The reels come up often in our Flea Market.

Here in the Mid South the primary forage is threadfin shad, commonly referred to as yellow tail. Chartreuse is a primary feature.

You are dealing with a puddle not a pond.

I plan to fish there this weekend and will post a report.
