30 lb. power pro for frogging with gliss 17lb. on my drop shot ML & 24lb. on my MH spinning set ups with floro leader if necessary

Think Okuma flies under the radar, I have their C340x rod and an Inspira reel, never been disappointed, great gear will buy more

spinning = Gliss

never had any issues with tackle warehouse or cheaper than dirt, sorry hope everything is ok

Pinnacle Perfect7 - 7'1" ML fast Okuma Inspira ISX20B 24lb. Gliss no leader

I have the Inspira ISX-20B on a Pinnacle Perfecta7 ML spooled with 24lb. Gliss, been my go to this spring very light smooth reeling and casting set up with absolutely no problems, hope you like it as much as I do

Bass candy for me, weightless tex pose on a 3ewg, I just vary the retrieve until I find how they want it served. I save the good end of the chewed up senkos and find they work when the water gets cold and life slows down, even works for trout:

Congrats, nice catch

I'm also a big fan of Okuma spinning rods, C3-40x M/L on sale @ TW for $130, great sensitivity,warranty & lightweight no complaints from me

Landed my first ever brown trout this AM on the good end of a chewed up senko from last year via gammy 3/0 EWG super/ weightless / 24lb. gliss / performaXT30 / kistler mag. MHF spinning from the shore, beautiful animal, catch & release

For finesse applications with spinning gear 18 -24 lb. Gliss mono with or without leader, cast great, sensitive & no memory

You should take a look at Gliss mono

and braid with trade names advertised as "Spectra or Dynema is woven extruded polyethylene fibers so Gliss (mono) is basically fused polyethylene fibers and thus has similar properties but it is not Fluro clear, well stated A-Jay

Excellent post, spot on with colors, trailers and recommended reading

Hoping Santa is good to me so I can try out any new toys on the weekend, no ice on my lake yet so I get out almost everyday!

1). What is the most challenging thing you find about fishing? Learning and then having success with a new technique. 2). What is the most fun and exciting part of fishing?(Obviously catching a fish ;-) But anything else you find exciting?) The most fun I have is teaching and fishing with my grandchildren and sharing in their excitement when they catch a fish.

frogs.

My favorites for spinning PP and Gliss 90% of the time with no leader
