Yesterday & today got out to use my LTB 69MLXF some more. The more use I get with it the more Im feeling very pleased with its performance. Getting a better feel of the backbone. There is a large stump and a couble of the bass took aim directly for it but give a solid feeling tug away and the bass follow. Got in some thicker weeds as seen in one pic but still no feeling of lack of power just a good fight. I put my JM Carbonlite reel on w/15# PPS8S and this makes for a nice light set-up feels good. Was tossing Palm Trees and Hydras hopping along bottom. A few fish just suck in the bait no tap tap but the slight pressure change was noticeable.

I hooked into a little 20" northen but braid and pike dont mix. It got to about 6" from shore and snap Hydra went one way pike just stayed for a couple seconds. I dont move quck but just as I started to grap for it it went away with my Trokar hook. I should have just took a picture of it cause it didnt move til I did.

Geez....

Those fish aren't worth a pic...

Well they are giants compared to what I usually catch

hah these r soe lunkers I wonder how much it would be to get em mounted especially the last one.

In Illinois they are!

I bought 2 new LTB out of the bargain room myself, can't wait to get them out and give them a try! I'll be lucky to get anything as big as the last one you got on the palm tree, our bass just don't get that big either!

A fishing derby was won with just one 14" bass on this lake. There have been a number of tournaments where 6# took 1st so 4-5 of these and you are placing 1-2.

Just got back did a bit better with my 2nd biggest of the year 2# 2oz LTB handled it ok but was a much better fight. Threw palm tree along flat weed area edge 6'-7' deep that drops quickly to 18 feet.

Sounds fun with an ultra light. I ordered the same LTB you did, looking forward to fishing with it this fall.

I like the colors on your baits too... Different bright colors are sometime the ticket for the bites

Oh yeah with a bitsy minnow & UL target the boils on top.

The watermelon/chart is my fav palm tree. The hydra skirt was dipped in JJ's but I put a few together in a bag and well the JJ blead and the rest of the body brightened-up, usually the body is darker.
