  1. I'm curious for those who have the LT and have or have used a Stradic or above with direct drive handles... Do the LT reels, which don't have direct drive handles, have any play when reeling? I have experienced play with my son's Lexa 2000, and other Daiwa reels I've played with. Again, just curious. My Stradics have zero play.
  2. Congrats on the PB, and welcome aboard! Did you catch & release her? She's got some great genetics at that size! And can't really help with tax peeps. I know Bass Pro offers replicas, have you tried them?
  3. Great catches!
  4. Welcome aboard! Never fished up that way...yet.
  5. I mainly use 15# now, but I also use 10# on one. I'm fine with 10#, actually, but I got a killer deal on a 1500 yard spool of PowerPro SuperSlick 8 in 15# that I couldn't pass on. Anyhow, I use leaders from 4-15# but mainly 6, 8, 10. Line is either Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Gamma Edge fluoro.
  6. I like to use braid for mainline on spinning reels. It is better for line management. But to each his/her own. I also prefer a leader attached in order to keep my mainline from depleting too fast for the many hook ties I might do on an outing.
  7. Welcome aboard, dude!
  8. Dang, dude. That's a Virginny hog, fer sure. Congrats!!
  9. Welcome aboard, Brett!
  10. Welcome aboard, Jesse!
  11. What everyone said, black crappie!!
  12. Welcome aboard!
  13. All 1000 size Stradics all the time for me! But nothing over 6'6" for me, either.
  14. I hit up Lee Hall Reservoir yesterday... A beautiful day to be on the water. But the wind was pretty wicked. So glad I have a motor . Terrible day for a single bite. Even a nibble. As for dogwoods in my yard, still in the budding stage. Although a slight yellow tinge of pollen was all over my Rav4. Ah yes, springtime in Virginia.
  15. Welcome aboard, Jan!
  16. Welcome aboard, Logan! Trick Worm can be fished, as mentioned above, in so many different ways. Slow and steady, TX. Wacky, weighted wacky, and the list goes on....
  17. I haven't tried it yet, but my eldest son has. He seemed to enjoy the shave, but with the time it took to do so, he gave it up.... Still want to and probably will soon.
  18. Now that's a football! Wow! Awesome catch! Congrats!
  19. Sounds like you have plenty of advice, so I'll just offer a welcome aboard to the forums, Jamey!
  20. Welcome aboard!
  21. Welcome aboard! if you want guesses, there should be something to compare it to - rod, your shoes (and size), something! Even better, invest in a scale!
  22. I'm just...Darren. Simplicity, no guessing, my name.
  23. Welcome aboard, Tim!
