It's pretty cool. Definitely wasn't as large a bait as I had expected. I've caught fish on it that I'm not sure would keep in a tournament... I wouldn't hesitate to throw it. You might be surprised.

Where you be at?

One of my fondest days was pre-spawn on my friend's private lake in Westminster, CO...I stopped counting bass at around 130 fish...all essentially on a maiden voyage of a Conquest 50, mated to a Zillion 7'0"MF combo on a 1/4oz black/blue bitsy bug and a Zoom Super Chunk Jr. in Sapphire Blue.

Anyone who says that a Shimano/Daiwa or Daiwa/Shimano rod/reel or reel/rod combo is blasphemy, is full of blasphemy in my book! :lol:
West Alabama. This was my first trip to this lake my friend fished there a lot and said there weren't any fish over 5lb in this lake but I proved them WRONG!!!!

My forearm was sore the entire next day. :lol: It was an absolute blast, as she was one mean fish.

First ever "Lightning Trout" :D

Was pitching a senko for bass when this guy clobbered it. Put up a heck of a fight for a 2-3lb trout on some fairly heavy gear.

Good job bud! Not bad for a first time "targeting" a specific species.

Thanks. I've only caught 1 other smallie prior to this, while I was trolling for pike/walleye.

All in all it was a good day. Caught about 20 smallies. Haven't had a day that good since the pike were spawning. And well, 20 perch a day doesn't even come close.
