Grain and happy, would one of you please post a pic of the Berkeley nymph. I haven’t a clue.

RJR, one of the combos I keep in the boat is currently spooled with 4lb mono for the abrasive places I sometimes go. But I have run braid on it and I’ve noticed the difference in the sensitivity and how the hits feel. Raid transfers everything to the hand in even this cheap combo I’m talking about. It’s a Shakespeare micro series in 5’6” and a Shimano Sienna reel and it’s nothing special at about $50 for the rig. With braid on it I can feel the tiny strikes very well. My point, it’s nice to have better gear but we have what we have for the moment. The better line makes things a lot easier. I have to run a leader for retying and abrasion resistance but for me there’s no turning back. Hope the shoulder heals well and this UL experiment turns out well also.
