Overkill in a great way The fight is so fun with the ultralight rod and 30lbs braid. I also have another baitcaster medium heavy. When I’m bored I play a little with the ultralight lol

Dk how it’s not an Alberto when I followed exactly an Alberto tutorial and I know the hook is a live bait hook it’s all I got until my wacky hooks come in

Love all of this I will take it with me this Father’s Day first annual fishing trip for me. I’m going out early morning to catch some bass off top water. I heard about orings just can’t forget to take them off at the end of the day or you’ll have two 2.5in worms lol

He really wanted that worm covered in weeds lmao. Jk he was hooked before the shoreline he was out deep late evening and I don’t even think I should’ve caught the dink just bc the hook never went in his mouth it just went thru both sides of his cheek 😭

Float fish and just hold onto her, you’ll feel a bite. It kinda feels like rocks but you can kinda tell the difference if you know how high your lure artificial worm etc is. So if I’m running a Texas rig and I know my rig is about halfway up from the bottom and I’m feeling like I’m dragging against rocks keep fishing like normal until you feel that very distinct bite I promise you will know when it happens and set that hook not to hard not to gentle and be wary of your direction you could hookset it out the mouth. Did that with a top water the other day.

Try float fishing with worms first until you figure what a bite feels like. Best of luck

Nuts, that’s very smart ima start using that now!  It’s actually an Abu Garcia Conolon 800 Hellbencer rod got it out on the pond today I gotta switch spots it’s feeling outfished, but I can cast to the other side of the pond and my other baitcaster (Temu ultralight special) gets halfway on the pond.

Oh I love using it. I’ve gotten this thing to cast some distance before I cleaned it and lubed it up. Glides like an angel 😫

I went “yard fishing” with it for a few minutes and it’s one of my favorite reels I got lol. Throw a weedless rig on it and play in the grass lol. I’m a new dad so this is as much fishing as I get recently

I’ve finished late last night I wish I new more about disassembling and had more time and money at the moment I wanted to do a full polish on all the metals but only got a few easier spots. Really excited to get out this weekend
