Went out today with my new daiwa zillion 7.1:1. I can't believe how smoothly it cast. I went out today from 3:30-5:00p.m. and used my go to bait. I put on a BBH on a 1/8oz. owner sled head and caught 5 bass. All fish were in the 1-2.5lb range so nothing big but a good way to break in my new reel.

nice work.  feels great to catch bass on the first day out with a new rig. 8-)

I handled one of those reels at BPS last weekend, very nice. A little out of my price range, but definitely nice....

How do you fish the baby brush hog on the sled head?

thanks

nice work

I drag it along the bottom and twitch it a couple times and let it sit. I also work it the same way you would a shakey head jig. Just work it the same way you would a t-rigged lure.

Sounds like some fun fishing.  Glad you are enjoying the new reel, its always exciting to fish with a new one.

Thanks,

By the way, Breammaster and his frends can probably do a job of breakin in that reel for ya
