BTW , she no likee

the 8 lb mono much , says she can handle it and she don't care for it , she is a 6 lb mono rod for sure, will respool it accordingly today....
my bad , should have put on what my mind said to use in new 6 mono, but thought why not try the 8 for grins :banghead:banghead
didn't cast as well with it and did not like getting bent hard with large crappie on the other end at long range , made odd eyelet noises as the line strained from the long range fights and wasn't what I prefer in said fights and or casting either.
such is how the testing is going and YES, I unwrapped the corks handles too :Rofl
just a quick fyi ....

Now you can get that rod broken in and slimed real good.

Always go with your gut instinct buddy! :biggrin

I might hafta go with 6# mono, I got 4# on my new dock shooter .
That stuff is like a spider web [smile]

4 can be a bear to use sometimes , gets out of tiny gaps on the jig head, breaks rather easy , but will cast a country mile

I like the braid as strong as winch cable. Line lives a rough life under docks
