Thread: Some drag pulling fun.

This sinking line will change how I bluegill fish in the winter. I won’t have to use heavier weights and drop shot....at least that is my thinking. This video was from yesterday......I also killed them again today.....and am going back tomorrow.....got to strike while the fire is hot! Love some UL angling.......hope you all enjoy.

Thanks for the video.

Enjoyed the video. Nothing like ul fishing .

Great video once again, and of course it leads me to another question. The drag pulling and squealing that I see looks fun and is fun, but does it not twist your line? When the fish is stripping drag from a spinning reel and pulling the line across the spool edge, I try not to reel to keep my line from twisting, then I reel mainly when the fish stops pulling to gain ground. I also notice from your intro you are going to a stiffer rod for the next trip, but keeping with the 2lb line, mono SOS I think. Does this line not twist as much or more when your drag slips and you continue to reel? Management issues on the spool is the main reason I am going away from mono completely on my UL rods. Those Kentucky bass are good table fare also, keep a few of the smaller ones and baptize them in some hot oil.

Thanks for watching and the comment. This “ester” mono twists bad. I know like everyone else...don’t reel when a fish is pulling drag. Here’s my problem. When using super lines...which this stuff is a super line....I keep an extremely loose drag. It is hard to reel and keep drag from slipping....especially on those heavy fish. I don’t have that much of a problem with the SOS line....but I keep a tighter drag using it. I could use some 2# test fluorocarbon line and pretty much have the same setup as with the polyester mono.....but I can’t see the 2# test fluorocarbon. I think I saw on one of the Japanese websites some sinking braid....may give it a try.

very nice ---- I'm just starting to use the trout magnets and the BG baby shad. Been using live crickets / worms -- still using em but a lot less. The bison and the black / lime green color trout magnets been working good for me in south Louisiana waters.

Thanks for watching and the comments.
