Had no idea as just bought the boat last May and it's first trip to Oconee... To say the least, it wasn't a very fun day by myself!!! Only caught little 6" white bass. Now the Slabs Gods owe me! lol
BTW, what brand poles are you using? Grip reminds me of my surf rods I have.
Uncle Bucks Deluxe Crappie Poles from BPS...good poles for long-lining and in 10 years of fishing with them I have yet to break one. I have caught everything from slabs to big stripers and catfish on these rods and they whup them all. And they don't break the bank either.
