If you fish for trophy bass, this is a terrible choice. For little fish, what does it matter?" I've mostly tried spinner baits and drop shotting a little Keitech and a finesse worm." Seemed like you needed more suggestions on bait selection.That's a peach, hun!I like the PopMax in a green frog pattern, but he part the fish see is still white.My biggest bass this year have come from local public ponds. The GYCB Kreature, Senko and Fat Ika have been red hot! At Pickwick the better smallmouth have been fooled by the Rage Menace, Structure Bug and GYCB Kreature. A few weeks ago my brother and I fished Bull Shoals. We did not catch monsters, but well over 100 smallmouth almost exclusively on the Gitzit. We also caught spots and largemouth in the mix. The best green fish was ~5 lbs, smalljaw 4 1/2 lbs. Add six keeper walleye for a great trip.I think your "essay" should be broken up into categories that can be addressed individually. That's why we have specific sections for every topic. So, I will address your line issue here. To minimize twist light braid as a mainlined and fluorocarbon leader. Specifically Seaguar Smackdown #10 https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Seaguar_Smackdown_Braided_Line_Stealth_Gray/descpage-SMD.html For the leader, Tatsu #6 https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Seaguar_Tatsu_Fluorocarbon_Line/descpage-STFL.htmlI have this for sale: Megabass Destroyer FOst-66X Siglett $475 https://megabassusa.com/product/destroyer-p5-f0st-66x-siglett/ Shimano Conquest BFS HG $515 https://jdmfishing.com/vault/2017-2018-calcutta-conquest-bfs-hg/ Spooled with #6 Tatsu $990 for immediate delivery via FedExMe, too!The Flatworm is killer!St. Croix Legend Tournament LBTC72MM https://stcroixrods.com/products/legend-tournament-bass-2022-new-modelsShould have asked for suggestions first. Three rods would have covered it all.I have a custom Rainshdow Eternity ETEC76M built by ghoti. It's matched with a Shimano Conquest 100 and Tatsu #12. The casting distance is remarkable.Yeah, might have been twenty years. As I get "more mature" years and decades seem to merge.Well, Pickwick is jumping! Not worth a nickle for fishing this weekend, but if you like watching drunk women partying without their shirts on, it is entertaining!It's a GREAT all-around rod and perhaps my all-time favorite. I gave mine to my brother.When red first went trendy (10 years ago?) I loaded up. NEVER made one little bit of difference and EVERY hook that wasn't lost turned gold.https://www.google.com/search?q=i'm+here+for+the+party&rlz=1CAOJUW_enUS981&oq=i'm+here+for+the+party&aqs=chrome..69i57j46i512j0i512l5j0i22i30l3.7390j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8G.Loomis GLX MBR 844C https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/catpage-GLOOMISRODS.html?from=basresDude got into body building, too. He went from a regular Fat Boy to Vin Diesel. https://www.google.com/search?q=vin+diesel&rlz=1CAOJUW_enUS981&oq=vin+diesel&aqs=chrome..69i57j46i433i512j0i131i433i512j0i433i512j0i512j0i433i512j46i512j69i60.21694j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8Put a 5# weight in a plastic grocery bag. Tie it on your line and GENTLY lift it off the floor with your rod. If the drag releases, tighten it up a bit and repeat the lift. I think you will find that 3# is all you want before stressing the rod.
