I did have a 130 Loon but never, ever had even a strike on it. On the other hand, when the line snapped the lure went really, really, really far.

That's why you bump up the line size. Go whipping that heavy lure on the end of that long rod, on light line and you are asking for trouble. But like others have said, whatever works for you!

Hold the rod high when reeling. this will become clear to you within  a few casts.

 

Around Mid MI I've had very little luck with the WP.  Loon/Bone 110
