The Summit and the ......

[Ketchn]

AS panfish series 5 footer . The Summit Pflueger is one of those higher end series reels and a bit more costly than some of the other series Pflueger reels but to be sure i have been testing it a good while and its a champ .
The All Star panfish is brand new and it went to the water yesterday for an hour or so for a test run . It performs pretty well and i think it wants 4 lb test rather than 6 on it . the rod is fast and light and will lift a large crappie . i wish the rod butt was slightly longer but so far it seems like a dandy short rod .
I had only a small window to pitch jigs and most of the fish ran small . I managed about 5 keepers in a herd of smalls and one was really good quality in the mix . H showed up about when i had to go and managed a few keepers pretty quickly and Ez just sat at the table watching and giving showing off his fancy Pepop jigs !
Had to run off to prep some chicken thighs for a family dinner and to be sure it was nice afternoon . fish were holding deep on cover and the fall is in the air . used only small baits as they wont play well with anything very large in there just yet . all the offerings were versions of split tails and in the one inch range on number 6 hooks .
thats the thursday report from the lake .
and for sure ...
KABOOM is the word
