The mono is a good cast also but not near the Nanofil. The clear mono, I have some of that too but didn't use it today, works well and may be a better option in clear water, but it is bonafide tough to see. With the tiny jigs you have to be a line watcher, so you better be on your game. The hits are tough to feel due to the light jig, just a faint tic a lot of the time. All this makes it a ton of fun and keeps me coming back for more.

Alpha, I'm not sure exactly what they were but they were fillet size. The good coppernose I get have the tell tale splash on their forehead, and I didn't get any of those. With the weather being upside down here lately I felt blessed to get what I did. Once they get active and I get em figured out I'll post some pics of some of the real nice ones we have hereabouts. Keep in mind that are small compared to Ledhed's posts but they sure make a great dinner. I used to make a 2 hr drift, casting into the eddy's behind docks and blowdowns and such. During the drift I would gather between 6 and 18 fillet size 'gills that fed us well in the days when money was tight. My gear was junk compared to what I have now, and only had one UL rod, but it was one of the best things I could do for my attitude. Just one stage of the love affair with these hard fighting little fish. I have some 1/80 jigs that I picked up a few weeks back that will get some play next time out.

Great!!!

Nice gills... you can keep the lizard lol.
