Cool tip man, I heard it was better for mono situations vs braid though. Regardless, better than forkin out the tweezers.

Agreed but when there is 20lb braid sitting in a box in my room...might as well use it up and get through the worst times this fall...it's summer time when i need the best on the reel.aka 30lb pp, not 20lb spider wire thanks for the tip also GCD

I have added a 4th setup to my line of rods and reels, a 6'7" Rapala TS2 rod and a Daiwa Megaforce 100TSH Baitcast Reel($165 Combo) Being my first setup I am completely new to the world of throwing baitcasting reels. I know how to operate the star drag and I think I have a feel for the small knob next to it(spool stops completely when it hits water, or slows down?) However the cast control on the left side of the reel has a scale from 1-10. Where should I put this at? I am going to start throwing a jerkbait slowly and doing side hand casts or flip like casts. Should I press the button and cast the reel with my thumb letting the spool go or stop... Any helpful insight on this being the easiest for me would be very helpful, I know I wont be a pro over night but I am determined to put time in on the river and practice with it. O and I got 20lb Braid on there if that makes a difference(I know in the backlash world it does) Thanks for the help, MTBF

Sounds like a great place Pure, nice pictures on top also. Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Agreed, fished with some friends a few times this year. Too bad that those trips are the trip that end the soonest.

They even make Energy Drinks with like 6 or 7% alcohol in them...Rockstar is the company/brand. Try one of those if you are looking for a quick heart attack

I just bought a pair of chest waders today from Canadian tire(69.99) Hope they last lol, came with a patch though...wonder how I would put her on if i get a hole...

Nice job bud, I outta get catch myself some walleye one day! Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Wow, spectacular catches Cliff! Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Right on man, those boys from Extreme Angler seem to like using jig's for Pike also. Looks like fun an congrads to ur cuz Thanks for sharing bud, MTBF

Ah great job man! Nice videos and pictures, fishing with dad always is fun regardless of success! Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Way she goes I guess...

Beautiful Catch! Nice job, MTBF

I can see keeping your first fish if the person is younger but it's my guess that that fish was either released dead or was put into the pan. Nice job on the catch, how did it taste? MTBF

Ah well, it was a great time! Next time parhaps we can use the motor and head across the lake and do some jig fishing, and I'll help out with the expenses a little more lol, maybe in a week or two. Anyway, good luck on your next time out, maybe some sweaters would be a good idea eh lol Take Care, Mike

Nice Job, MTBF

Nice job bra, can't wait to see the next report! Thanks for sharing, MTBF

That sucks man, can't wait to see the show!

Lol, hey I didn't want to say too much as he wanted to be referred to as my "guide" for the day(his boat) lol. He made perfect pitchees but didn't come out with any bass, like I said had a fish or two on but...they got away. Next time my partner will catch some. Ya, I got time to fish just not the tools to get there lol. This week has not been to bad, last week was orientation week so we did nothing at all but listen to teachers and get handouts. I have a few bigger assignments due in a few weeks time and math that I can do on the spot but aside from that, fishing this evening off shore with the jig here I come!

Nice job kiddo! Thanks for the detailed report and pictures!! MTBF

Today was a great day, perfect conditions and a few fish for myself. I met up with a friend of mine and a fellow OFC'r Fish-Miester for a afternoon's bass fishing. Once we got out onto Scugog I got to fish solo for awhile using a bow mount trolling motor I got the hang of it and off I went for a hour or two, some of you are laughing because there soo easy to drive but hey give me a break i made it out and to the dock in one piece lol. I did alright, caught a small 1lb largie and a perch on a crankbait Then the not so largemouth Well once the time was up it was time for us to do some dock fishing, a first for me. Using my spinning combo with braid I started to flip docks and odd pieces of brush. Not to long into out trip i catch the only and last fish of our team adventure. Was a nice 2lb largemouth and my first this year on a jig, Fish-Miester had on a few but it was a tough bite, not really slamming the baits. Victory And the release As the sun dropped i shot a few pictures and on our way home we went Perfect conditions Thanks for reading, feels good to be back at the bass action again! Yours Truly, MTBF (Thanks again for the adventure bud)

Nice job dude, love the shot in the canoe with that crap ur paddling through lol Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Great job! I'm liking the variety of species there. Thanks for sharing, MTBF

"Don't go fishing without the net" Priceless! Nice walleye man, nothing better than a fish on camera! MTBF

We have our invasive species and they have theirs. Great catch regardless although the real record should be caught somewhere in America.
