    Yellow is my fav for this very issue. 10 and 15# tests. It makes a substantial difference in visibility for me.

    Welcome aboard! 1000 is my preferred bass fishing reel size I'd drop to a 500 for UL...

    Welcome aboard! Yup, wired backwards most likely (on the battery).

    Based solely on the reviews I've read, it is a great reel. Very light, good drag, and so forth. Have not put my hands on one yet. I'm a Stradic guy, but with big respect for Daiwa reels.

    I think that's a good buy.

    In that case, might I suggest a MF or MXF rod. Wacky, Ned, TX, other "finesse" are my go-to and I love a MF and MXF rod. On a side note, I've become a major fan of St. Croix MLF and MLXF rods, as well. They tend to fall somewhere between ML and M in terms of stiffness.

    Never used one, but just looked at them. Moderate action. Does he fish treble-hook lures mostly? I'd look at St. Croix Triumph, Bass Pro Pro Qualifier, in that range, as well.

    I know what you mean, Jim. Some of us are diligent note takers, journal-keepers, and so forth. Sometimes I wish I was one of those, but I'm not. Probably why I never went in to the sciences - even though I enjoy reading and absorbing much of their stuff... So my gut usually leads me on a given day. Known places that produce, etc. Like @A-Jay said, they both may be one and the same.... At least I like to think of it that way, LOL. I fish with science, I just don't know it!

    Very cool catches!

    Welcome aboard! Just because a knot loses in Knot Wars does NOT mean it is a bad knot, or unworthy of your time. I have no problem with the uni-to-uni and Alberto. Period. You MUST balance your knot with your setup - drag esp. Of course things can go bad if your drag is locked down and you score a lunker. Think of the knot as part of the whole, not THE end all, be all.

    Welcome aboard, John!

    I use a leader for everything, regardless of technique. Just my preference. For me I look at it as saving my braided mainline from frequent retying. Uni-to-Uni my first choice, second is Alberto (Mod'd Albright). Both are excellent. Just make sure you set your drag accordingly. I.e., light leader, don't lock down the drag.
