They must have had too much Turkey :) Would have liked to been out yesterday or this morning but thankfully I have to work.<br><br>Do you ever use braid when it's above freezing or do you just stick to mono?KDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14711594979705618485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159457880557538756.post-56768003993620871872009-12-02T18:15:38.364-05:002009-12-02T18:15:38.364-05:00No bother at all, Curtis.Sorry to hear the bass ov...No bother at all, Curtis.<br><br>Sorry to hear the bass over ate in Chi-land, Kev.<br><br>Our water was super clear here. Which was bad news with low water as well. Saturday was a sunny disaster with 2 fish in 3 hours trying new spots.<br><br>On Sunday, I got 6 to 16.5" in 3.5 hours. One on a 4" hard jerkbait. Had two others hit the bait in the 15-16" range that didn't hook.<brBThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00130885596569505778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159457880557538756.post-74329080259425901222009-12-03T14:03:54.687-05:002009-12-03T14:03:54.687-05:00Brenden,I'm sure it also had something to do w...Brenden,<br>I'm sure it also had something to do with location, water clarity and timing on the fishermans part LOL.<br><br>Nice job on your fish for a few hours!<br><br>That's some good info and good advice. Thanks, I'll be trying all of it. Picking up my spare spool tonight and it will be loaded up with PP soon enough.<br><br>Since I never really used braid any tips for spooling KDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14711594979705618485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159457880557538756.post-31021406345108067492009-12-03T22:15:30.955-05:002009-12-03T22:15:30.955-05:00K, I fill the line quite close to the edge of the ...K, I fill the line quite close to the edge of the spool lip, Just watch that it's on the spool tight and you'll be fine. The line diameter wil reduce as it finds use. Paint and gunk come off the line shrinking it on the spool over time. I always add a little more than I need.<br><br>The closer to the line comes to the spool lip the longer your casts will be as the line flies off easily.<BThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00130885596569505778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159457880557538756.post-33694889916024389672009-12-09T13:35:47.063-05:002009-12-09T13:35:47.063-05:00Great blog I'll try to check in more often .
