Super User Bassn Blvd Posted November 1, 2008 Super User Posted November 1, 2008 The weather has been absolutely perfect for the bite to be on so I went out for a little shore fishing this evening. I decided to use my ultralight with hopes of having some fun. Catching bass on light gear with #4 mono is a blast. Actually, to me it's like catching Hawgs with swim baits on #20 mono. Here's my set up: 6'6 G-Loomis IMX fast action, 4-8 pound line class. Shimano Sahara 750 spinning reel. 4 pound mono w/ one foot of 6 pound mono leader. Lures: 2/0 or 3/0 hook 1/16oz bullet weight. 7" black Gulp worm. Black over chrome rattletrap. This was the first one I caught using the worm. I managed to get a nice action shot of the jump. same fish and again Another one on the worm Rattletrap This one came on a different rod and trap. Thanks for looking, Doug Quote
