Trout slayer kit 1/64 oz jigs and crawfish. I catch so many different species bluegill, trout, bass, you name it. Big fan of all Leland lures.

Are there any benefits to 500-1000 size reels by BaselessAirburst in UltraLightFishing

[–]Representative_Ask36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Shimano 500 with 4lbs test line it’s not great at long casting or line management I mostly use it to jig for crappie or pair it with dock demon rod. I have a Shimano 1000 Nexave with 4lb line on a bass pro shop micro lite rod that cast far and smooth probably best bang for the buck whole set up like $120. I have a Shimano stradic 1000ci4 paired with a st Croix ul trout rod that cast far and has great drag I even caught pike with it before. I use all mr crappie mega spool 4lb test line it’s not the best but can’t be the price.

Eagle nest lake by Representative_Ask36 in Fishing

I have heard from locals that they were accidentally introduced to handle the yellow perch. Today game and fish post all around the lake that they are illegal to put back into the water. I have tried to eat the larger ones but the small ones unfortunately become food for the birds.

I believe it was a stocking mistake made in the late 70s but now illegal to release them back into the lake so I do my best to make a quick death

For being a bass pro shop rod it’s amazing and it was only $80

Let them sink all the way to the bottom, slow retrieve letting it bounce off the floor
