Gotta love when that happens, Spoon. I know in this particular pond, the grub tailed minnows seem to pull bass this time of year. I might change out the Beetle Spin body to a white one next time.
The reel is (or was) a 1978 ABU 1500C. Cleaned up and some polishing of the correct areas and it could throw 1/8 oz stuff pretty nicely. I've done quite a few mods to it. It can now throw 1/32 oz lures. Mind you, no long bomb casts with the 1/32 oz stuff, but the flight is straight and there is no pulling. I have it on a rod made for trout stream fishing, so it wasn't designed for long casts anyway. The end of the rod is tiny but it still handled the bass nicely.
If I ever get to PA at the right time of year, I might actually use it for stream trout action. For now, it's a fun XUL rig for panfish.
