What Knot? just a granny's knot with 12 lb floro. got it now Thanks

My knots keep breaking before the weight comes of the floor even with hafe a gallon 4 lbs

Thanks,for all the replys, I went out and bought some 12 lb mono sunline super mono. and some ardent line butter, see what happens.

Thanks Brad, do you think casting distance would be effected much between 30 lb braid and 50lb? I read somewere that a heaver braid will not dig in as much on baitcasters

I forgot to mention it is a bait caster, and I always tie a leader of floro about 2 ft long on the end.Thanks for the reply. I was trying to see if it effects the casting. The reel is a curado 71 hg. When I get snagged up its allways the leader that breaks I cant seem to cast with mono or floro on a baitcaster very well ,maybe just need more practice.

Question, if I have a rod rated for 10-14 lb test line and a reel rated for the same 10-14 lb test line and I put on 20 lb braid spiderwire,does that effect any thing?

Its still tight on there, I just don't like the white part,It was damaged in shipping

How do I fix this? The eye got bent and the glue chiped and turned white.

I restrung my reel with 15 lb braid SW and use a 2 ft 4 lb fluoro leader I like the way the braid handles .Any comments?

Thanks for all the great tips. It was a lake I was fishing in. Never seen that Zekes bait before and I'm going to check on them power nymph s. I went out and bought some smaller hooks . Thanks again

Thank You, I have been using the paste, I will definitely try the eggs and a smaller hook .The paste didn't float with the hook I was using , they just stocked and no one was catching anything. Thanks again

I went Trout fishing opening day at mud run lake I was using powerbait on a lite fast action rod. I was riged up with a 1/8 oz egg sinker about 1o inches above a 6 or 8 otapus hook tied with a Snell knot and I was fishing from the bank. got skunked .was getting real quick bites but couldn't hook them, what am I doing wrong? thanks

Thanks everyone .

Thanks all I been looking at the Tatula and the Curado I like the break adjustment on the tatula looks easier to get to then the curado,

200.00 would be the most I would spend. Thanks, how about top water no good or jigs?
