Hey Chaunc, been a while. If you haven’t tried Stren Crappie in hi vis 2 lb, you should try a spool. Those 1/64 will cast so much easier, and it won’t break the bank.

I’ve got some 2lb Gamma that I have yet to spool up. Just got a B&M 100 series reel to put it on. Pairing it with a 6.6 Lews/ Wally Marshal ultralight. Should be fun.
