Well , the front arrived.

We had a cold front come through last night and this morning.
Temps got down into the low fifties and the wind got strong and gusty . 10-20mph
I had plans on taking the TFO T&P 6’6” UL out for a couple hours , so around 11 this morning, I saw a little sun peek through and took off to the pond .
I paired the TFO with my Daiwa Revros 1000S loaded with my favorite line , 2# P-line.
The rest of my Bobby Garland Itty Bitty Slab Hunter arrived in the mail this morning, so I now have an assortment of different colors .
Turns out I needed them .
I started off with Junebug with chartreuse tail and caught a small gill and a 10-11” LM but it took awhile to get those two.
I think the cooler temps turned the fish off .
I tried several other colors without any luck , with and without a jig spinner . Nothing .
It was getting close to leaving time and I went to a Cajun Cricket with a 1/32 black jighead.
In the last ten minutes, I caught another gill and another LM . The LM came on my called , last cast .
Not the greatest day fishing , especially fighting a cold (to me ) wind . But it beats setting home watching TV .

That TFO is a nice rod. Looks like a fun trip

I’m thinking of taking the 6’ TFO next trip .
That or my 5’6” Daiwa Procyon.
When checking out my rods , those were the two that caught my eye and cried out “ take me next “ :)
Going with a 500 size reel . When using a 1/32 jighead, I don’t think distance is going to suffer much .

A TFO is in my future. Then probably some JDM rods. I got to watching some of the Japanese fisherman fishing in the mountains. Like everything they do. They take their fishing gear to the next level

I'm glad you got them figured out. I'm a fan of the BG itty bits !

I think you’re right using a 1/32. That should be a nicely balanced combo.
