    What does that mean?
  2. hooah212002
    I have a similar type body of water that I fish (gin clear with LOTS of pressure and LOTS of baitfish) and it is a pain in my hindquarters. I can see 5+ pounders swimming around, but I can't get to 'em or they turn their nose at my offerings. Someone more seasoned than I will turn up with an answer.

    Schooling baitfish means fluke/soft jerkbait time! Or wacky rigged senko. Slap some JJ's or Mega Strike on there for good measure. if it sees a lot of human activity, just make sure to bring your patience. I've never used one, but I imagine you will be advised to try a swimbait out, so get one of those too.

    yea, wouldn't want any nasty chemicals getting on your smokes......

    Do you just reel them in at a steady speed?

    What is backwards about it? The Performance is half the price. Based on everyone else's word, it certainly isn't half as good.

    I hear a lot about Sufix 832, but never much about Sufix Performance braid. I am considering trying it on my UL rod just in an effort to try new lines. Any thoughts?

    I think your posts denote much more negativity and rude behavior than do all the others. You're a very judgemental person. Somehow you've come to the conclusion that you are clean beyond reproach and everyone else here are some sort of slovenly heathens unworthy of touching things you touch. How's the weather on that high horse up in that castle on Mt. Olympus? To quote you: Don't parents teach these things anymore? (these things being manners and not judging people). To quote you again: I JUST HAD TO VENT!!

    Pflueger Trion is a great choice for an UL reel. Currently on sale at Dicks (mine anyways) for less than $20.

    I take it you urinate on your hands when you use the facilities? My pants are not germ infested hotbeds writhing with critters, so I don't obsess about washing my hands after touching stuff. If YOU are so concerned about cleanliness, carry hand sanatizer with you and wash your hands fervently instead of judging other people for not doing things according to your standards.

    Your best bet is to go craw hunting to see what color they are in that particular body of water, then match your soft plastic to that.

    No, you feather the line throughout the entire process with your thumb. There is a steep learning curve, but don't let that deter you. Once you get good with a baitcast reel, you can pitch a jig right on top of a bass' face or cast across a river to a downed tree and make it stop right before going into a limb. If you buy a junk baitcaster, though, you'll more than likely get frustrated and hate it.

    As long as it's been in a moderate environment with stable temperature and not subject to humidity, braid is fine for a really long time. At worst, you'll have some memory issues at first that should get worked out after a bunch of casts. I could be wrong, so wait for more advice.

    For the most part, buying cheap anything will shy you away from it. A cheap baitcaster is among the top of the list for items with this problem, so long as your definition of cheap is within reason. $30 wally world combo cheap? Yea, you're gonna have a bad time.

    Yes, Yo Zuri is fine for topwater based on my personal experience.
  16. hooah212002
    This is what I picked up for the meantime because they had a 110 yard spool for like $3. I'll give some of the other lines a shot when I get bored, but I am probably going to pick up some PP since I can't get Yo-Zuri local.

    I recall the Lindners typically catching smallies deep. But I haven't watched a legit fishing show since I was a kid.
  18. hooah212002
    That sound is added post processing? I always wondered why Jeremy Wade's reels did that. That's pretty silly to do.

    Another vote for a Curado.

    You didn't "convert" me to braid; I am already using it on my spinning rod. I just didn't consider it for my UL setup, but you've convinced me to consider it. That's all. Braid does handle better, but Elite handles fantastically itself.
  21. hooah212002
    Thanks. You have effectively persuaded me into considering braid.
  22. hooah212002
    Nothing better than a smallie slamming a spook as the sun is barely rising and the fog is just rolling off the water.
  23. hooah212002
    True enough. But I kinda figured the fun of light line fishing was knowing that you had to be careful. With 15# braid, you can fish where ever you want and horse any fish out. That's just me and my personal preference, though, and I could be in the wrong mindset.

    Something something something no political posts something something. The healthcare debate follows essentially the same party lines and is just as polarizing. Appetite for destruction.

    For ultra light? Kinda heavy, no?
