Put the pedal to the metal on the new Evergreen Limber Tip SS today, kinda. I was prowling for crappie using my livescope, and the wind was blowing hard, spitting rain. I only had a few hours. I found a school off a point and started throwing a trout magnet. Changed colors, finally got a 1.2 lb bass on a pink lemonade color; it was a great fight, and the LTSS was bent almost double.

The crappie would not bite, so I looked for another school. Found some, mad a cast with a Bobby Garland blue ice on a Daiwa 1.5 jig. WHAM. Uh oh, that ain't no crappie. All I could do was hold on and try to steer the fish away from the anchor rope, having 2 lb test Gamma Panfish on there. Five minutes and a couple of leaps later, I had a 3.0 lb bass in the net. Took a pic and chunked it back.I would say that was too much fish for the LTSS, the Tict Rockin Power would have done better.

Anyway, I did find some crappie, and they started hitting a Bobby Garland Itty Bitty Swim-R in monkey milk. Only the tiny bait worked, but all the fish, except for a hog that got off, were 8" - 9". I caught about a dozen, and had enough of the high wind and drizzle. The LTSS definitely is a good crappie and bream rod. Still have to take it to the river and catch some trout.
