I guess I didn’t put enough backing on

Is this reel overspooled? Or does it look ok?

St croix premier casting rod. Couldn’t stand that bulky foregrip

Don’t remember my exact first but have fond memories in middle school and high school heading to a friends everyday after school who lived across the street from a 13 acre pond. At the time, the pond was fairly low pressure and no watercraft was allowed. We’d sneak an old fiberglass canoe on. We’d carry it about 200 yards down the block across the street and head out with one rod each, usually a 5’6”-6’ ugly stik or a bass pro brand spinning rod with 6lb mono. floating rapalas and weightless plastic worms were all we used and we slammed em. 25-30 fish days in 2-3 hours with the Average sized fish 2 1/2-3lbs with the largest we’ve taken probably a little over 6. Years later now the pond is heavily pressured, allows boats and kayaks and gets pounded by the “bucket brigade”. any fish over 3lbs is a bonus and the days of 30 bass in 2-3 hours are long gone! You’d probably be lucky to catch 30 bass here now in a full season. time flies, this post brought back good memories

Strongest is original fireline. I don’t use it though, it’s thick and piano wire like until it gets broken in. I use original power pro which has worked fine for me since I started using it over 20 years ago

What’s the deal with everyone hating on EWG these days

Yup works great for baby brush hogs and 7” power worm too

Caught one of my biggest fish here in NY on a zoom ole monster

2/0 gamakatsu EWG

The brighter green patches. I have it all over mainly In the shady areas of the yard. Both front and back

Anyone know what this is in my grass?someone told me it could be from overwatering. It’s spongy like

I’ve had no issues with a single o ring I have had issues with the wacky hooks that have a weed guard

Depends where you’re fishing. Around a a lot of grass? 30lb braid anything else 12-15lb mono would be fine

Like I said they’re fine with rings. I like hooking through the bait with a tube so I find neko hooks to be a better option
