I know its pathetic to get excited to get some more bandits in the mail today to add to the growing assortment. I remember when it was girls and beer ... But that was before the wife and when my liver was young....so bandits will have to do. Got this batch of bandits from a member on here.




Just me but I have noticed a difference in pulling cranks.....I catch more on mono than I do on braid. I use and really like Cajun red mono. I do have to replace it every year but I buy it in big spools so....I noticed side by side, one Okuma Pro 15 line counter loaded with Cajun Red Braid and the other Okuma loaded with #10 Cajun Red mono, the mono seems to catch fish at 3:1. But I lose cranks on the mono.

Now when I am purely wiper fishing I use the bigger Okuma line counter reels and nothing but Cajun Red Braid and the wipers could care less it seems. So I am thinking....I would rather catch more crappie so not really willing to give up the mono. So if I could change out the hooks for a light wire treble....???? Anyone know if someone makes light wire or "lighter" wire trebles that would straighten? Just thinking....
