you might want to try getting up at 4a.m. and fish cooler water or try night fishing.

Yes. Slight changes . basically the same.

I fish 1/10 oz Ned rig with a small trd on 8lb Sufix Advance Mono with no issues with a Tournament Pro.

yeah but if it was frayed you would retie . youre smarter than that !!!!

even though they are all doyo they are made to different specs for different brands.for whatever reason the Lews seem to cast furthur.better bearings and lighter spools ? at 139 the tournament pro cant be beat. the externally adustable centrifugal brakes are awesome. the carbon fiber handle is nice. the 20 carbon drag is smooth and strong. not that bps reels arent good. all the ones i have owned were good im just a Lews fan now.

a lot of fisherman dont check their line and dont retie enough. then when they loose fish they blame the line. i find it amazing how some people can say a line is abrasion resistant and some say the same line isnt. id be willing to bet most guys who have issues are to lazy to retie.

totally disagree. good reel but i think you should look at the Lews tournament Pro at sportsmans outfitters for $139.

never put anything under 50 lb braid on a baitcaster.

tuf line domin8 or sufix 832 in 20 lb for spinning

i would get a BPS PATRIOT ROD. Wynn grips fuji sic guides 10 year free replacement warranty. light and sensative.

Not alconite anymore. They are plain aluminum oxide. First ones were made with alconite. Aluminum oxide is substandard at this price point.

Avid x has substandard guides for a rod of that price.

You can delete them.

Thats because it's the best mono made and yes it has a ton less stretch.

500.

So solve all your issues and try Sufix Advance Mono. It's a COPOLYMER with a lot less stretch and excellent abrasion resistance. Handles really well on casting gear.Comes in clear and green.

Doesn't bother me as long as they catch fish. The reels and rods aren't blems from what I've seen.

no

Regular powerpro at one time was the best braid. Now it's so outdated it's not funny. Why people would use it is beyond me.

LOL!!!

Had no issues

i throw 1/10 oz ned rig heads with it.

I don't know that lake but it's the same principle. You have to look for those spots that have something different. Any ripwrap you could crankbait on ? Any small bridges that the water goes under ? Corner edges on bridges are good ambush points. Any main lake points that have something different ? Where I fish we have giant weedbeds that all look the same.We have to find spots that are different. Try deeper structure also.
