YGK SS112 is by far my favorite finesse spinning line...

+1
I've got about two years experience with the 10 lb. It's smaller than the OP wants, but the ester core gives it better slack line feel and sink. It's a little noisy, but it casts surprisingly well for a noisy line.

Finally i got one of these!

Welcome to the club!

My casting drop shot setups are for the 15 feet depth or less during the spring. Our clear water and steep canyon reservoirs in SoCal have most of the fish positioned deeper than 15 feet most of the year. I use spinning for the deeper drop shot because it is a lot easier to open your bail on a spin...

We had a little humidity with the 116 yesterday. A small front blew in about 3 p.m, I lived in Houston, and I have also spent plenty of time in the South in the summer, but 115+ tells the body to get the hell out of it immediately. Stepping outside is like stepping into your oven. It gives you a hea...

116 here. Supposed to be 120 tomorrow!

The faster gear ratios are the main reason. It is a big difference if you fish quickly.

Yes, they are stripers. Most are in the 12-14 inch range. I pulled the whole school up with a 2.8 Keitech. Catching one or two is enough before I get back to largemouth fishing. Well done!

There is nothing like cycling on a nice, wooded, road with freshly paved blacktop... it's like the equivalent of the runner's high... powering through the soft undulations in the road, whisking around the bends ... fresh blacktop is like riding on rubber. I miss riding 😢 Let me know if you are in S...

See if you can guess the species. This shot is from Diamond Valley Lake on 6/26/20. I’ll check back tomorrow. The winner gets an atta boy!

:shock: Part of the reason I asked is so I dont have the bike hanging in the garage after a few months. I greatly appreciate the information and have a list of all bike shops in my area. I appreciate the enlightenment on Specialized, i thought it was a trend. Certainly I never thought there were so...

Did I stumble onto a Nascar thread from bassboatcentral?

It cost me $28 in Yamoto/UPS shipping that they now say is their only option because of Covid, but my Hedgehog Studio parts order just got here to SoCal in four days. It's sad what us enthusiasts will pay! :oops: The good thing is UPS just left it on my doorstep. My EMS orders have always required ...

The bladed jig gurus are figuring out what I have been saying on these Chatterbait threads for years. You want to have a smaller bait that searches more in clear water during the day. I tie more translucent 30 strand skirts instead of 50 strand skirts on my normal models. I have a little smaller mat...

One of the other problems that gives the sensation of a reel with worn gears is a dry/and or worn pinion bearing. The pinion bearing is the culprit of a noisy reel a lot of times. They should have a little bigger balls, but this adds drag to the drivetrain. My Daiwa pinion bearings on their magnesiu...
