Short trip this morning

[gillchaser999]

I only had about an hour and a half to fish this morning.
I took off to the town pond since it was the closest.
Started out with the Daiwa Iprimi , hoping to catch something on it to get “ the feel “ of it .
Didn’t happen .
I fished it with various spoons and even a couple soft baits , best I got was a follow .
The rod , for me , is so difficult to cast I gave up on it after a little over thirty minutes and walked back to the vehicle for my 6’ St Croix Avid ULF , paired with a Daiwa Legalis LT 1000 .
The Avid was a breeze to cast and a pleasure to fish with .
With my sausage fingered hands , the tiny grip on the Iprimi aggravates my arthritis in my right hand making it uncomfortable to hold very long .
I have other Daiwa rods , but this one isn’t for me .
With the Avid and a fire tiger Daredevil spoon I hooked three nice bluegills and landed two .
I’m guessing the other one was a gill , the way it fought . I had it on for a good fight and the hook just pulled out . I’ve had that problem fishing spoons . I must be hooking them on the outside of the mouth as they swipe at spoon . The only explanation I can come up with .
Turned out a nice morning. The two landed , both put up a good fight on the Avid .
