Thread: Maximum Fun with Small Fish.

I bought the Daiwa Iprimi 5’ 6” XXUL just for this reason. It gives one a ton of fun with small bluegill. I fished a private lake….although whoever drives though the gate can fish it…..today. It has had copper nose bluegill in it for at least 15 years. While some of them will get to the 11 inch mark they will be very much underweight when they get to that length in this lake. The lake is not on a feeding program nor is it managed. It has an abundance of 5-6 inch copper nose. The lake has a good population of shell cracker also….not uncommon to catch 100 a day at the 10 inch mark if you hit it at right time. I caught dozens of copper nose at the 5-6 inch range….about 14 shell cracker from 6-9 inches. And I also had to deal with the 10-11 inch largemouth. I was using a 1.2 gram Daiwa Presso Eve spoon. The reel I had was spooled up with the Varivas ES 2 1.8# test Ester line. These fish provided me with a day of enjoyment using the Iprimi. I don’t set out to catch little fish but when that is what you’re catching it sure is nice to have rods to match up with the fish for maximum fun.
