    Default TFO T&P hour


    I took a couple of my TFO Trout & Panfish rods today for a little over an hour at the docks .
    I had the docks to myself with the day being mostly cloudy with an occasional light drizzle and temps hovering around the 60 degree mark.
    Wind was there , but not as bad as it has been .

    Both rods were six foot UL’s , one a Trout & Panfish II , the other was my Pastime Trout and Panfish.
    T&P II started off with a Shimano Soare bb c2000s , but after a few fish with the Pastime , I swapped reels and finished up with the T&P II with a 500 Soare bb .
    Even though the 2000 size reel is only 6.2oz , I preferred both rods with the 500 size reel at 5.4oz . It actually felt lighter and with the smaller spool I was getting longer casts with 500 reel.

    Caught eleven mix bluegills and small shellcracker.
    The fish were a little bigger today , overall .

    That’s a good looking rig. I like the handle and grip, comfortable. I wish I had some ponds like you have up there. You have too much fun with em. Funny how your local gills are so different in color from mine.

    Tim I think , at least the top three in the pictures , have some shellcracker in them . Either they’re hybrids or juvenile females .

    Oh yeah ! They’ll put a nice bend in an UL and a couple of them pulled some drag !
    I think this particular reservoir is full of redears .
