Should have just left the Kawarthas for us fisherman. EVerything will spread through the system because of the boat traffic and canals. Just like Pike will be into everything in here soon enough - invasive foreign species will wreak havoc even faster. They can't even figure it out.

In this order: 1) Daiwa or 2) Quantum 3) Shimano Don't get the bps jm series. Hope this helps.

The fish sure were lure spitters this weekend!

That bass is huge. Did you weight it? Looks like it might be aound 8 - where were you fishing?

Was out fishing kawarthas last year and my friend hooked, fought and landed a metal twin bed frame! I'll post the pics later.

Great fish! What do you figure on the weight of that one?

IF your not concerned about the difference in ratio than line ratio would be nothing in comparison. Just compare a 5.1 to 6.3. Theres no way the speed in difference in line could be more.

I think the question may boil down to resistance. With smaller diameter there would be less resistance and you could reel faster. There is also the stretch factor with mono that may mean you'd have to reel in a little more if the line was stretched on that cast because of a hook set or snag or whatever. The reel has a ratio that will retrieve the same amount of line per full rotation. Because the braids don't stretch as much it should be more consistent. I'm not sure why any of this matters. The differences I would think would be minute. Where are the scientists?

I'm from newmarket! You'd be fine going to newmarket coming from the north or the south. Only the south bound lanes are closed. Just cut across at bradford.

Hey man thats a great first ski! Gotta love the colors. Youre hooked now - man that green is beaut!

Looks like lots of 3's, 4's and 5's. That last one might go a bit bigger. Nice job. What body of water?

Floro always has castability problems. Sounds like some of you have had lots of experience with differents floros and I use the vanish. I only use it as a leader and really this is all you need it for. For a main line its almost always best to go with a braid. They last long and have way more advantages. You'll never have issues with floro as a leader in terms of castability. The short falls in the castability of floro is well documented. Hyd

You forgot to mention smelly!

Love the report! haha. =)))

Nice Heron pix!
