Thread: Berkley Power Nymph

Hit the pond today with the intention of slip floating tubes and marabous but quickly abandoned that as my vision isn't great and prefer to feel the bite. I still watch my line but mostly wait for the thump. Caught a colorful gill on the tube but ended up casting the Power Nymph on a 1/32 jig head, which I was surprised how well it cast with 6 lb mono and no split shot above. I reeled in a 4'8" shakespeare excursion UL telescopic rod so I think I'll put a spinning reel on it with 4 lb test and will make casting the small jigs even easier, as well as bite detection. Caught 4 crappie and a bluegill slowly swimming the nymph, had to keep the last crappie cause he ate it so good I forgot my pliers and couldnt get the hook out
