    Default my 4 lb. test gets tested


    spooled up some 4 lb clear about a week ago on my old 7 foot Tica combo
    promptly got a catfish whipping on the trial run
    next spot a hundred miles away ,a few days later , I prevailed ......
    found fish biting well at a location that went south years ago
    not sure why it quit being the golden child of river locations ,but to be sure it isn't anything like it used to be !
    fish were all mid river in the channel area and holding about 7 foot deep in 9 foot of water .
    used a pink headed grey ghost and a fixed pencil float .
    the crappie were pretty darn nice size for river fish and the kitty got to get a photo op as well
    all returned to river and my lunch break was over
    good times for sure
    that 4 lb. test will cast a country mile and them way out there hooksets are just the stuff
    I really enjoy setting the hook, on crappie at long range
    that much is a fact
    and then as often happens , KABOOM is near
    p.s. about 6 or 7 pesky bream got ketched as well , but they just didn't meet my image expectations for this post

    Healthy looking fish. Light line produced just fine. WTG!

    Looks great- now it's time to experiment with some 2 lb test! I've caught some dandy trout with it.

    I really like light line , but I don't like it's ability to tangle easily ......and then ....
    2 lb is just too light for the way I set the hook ....
    4 is marginal as well ....
    6 is so so , 8 can handle what I dish out quite well ...
    just saying
