THUMP for President!

As in Pfleuger President {micro 6720/Fenwick 6' lt-mod/2 lb nanobraid/18" flouro 4#}Attachment 406943 Mission concluded, positive results, modest amount of fish for needy neighbors/friends. My incessant obsession of ultra-light s/p casting with the high-risk break off factor, chaperoned by artificial-only jigs had a significant adversary that had to be handled with extreme caution. After about a 4-5 minute significant showing, I finally got my 1st glimpse of today's 'tug-a-ward' winner = roughly a 36"/ 10-12 lb. Gar.Attachment 406944 Actually brought it to the net 3 times(wouldn't fit!) in hopes of a "loaf of bread" pic but unfortunately the line broke!:banghead Decent amount of nice-sized crappie were added to list of accomplishments with only ten or so needed for the grocery list.Attachment 406945Attachment 406946 Gotta luv the THUMP!:highfive Thanks for coming along...

Thanks for that mission report. I enjoyed reading it tremendously. Looks like you ended up with some real nice fish.
I'd vote for Thump for President. [emoji16]

I would vote for Thump again! Love my Pfleuger Presidents!

Good looking rod and reel. Great looking slabs

Love ultralight fishing! Thanks for taking us along.

the pflueger's are solid reels and reasonably priced, have several of them and they always perform. especially if you ketch them on sale! :biggrin

Great post. I like the President I have now. Much smoother and efficient than what it replaced.

Thanks for your tricky reply...was "it" misspelled?

If the computer posts what I type I usually don't have spelling errors.:biggrin My President, filled with 4# Sunline, is a big step up from the 2bb reel it replaced.

Thanks for update, thought of a possible "he" moment [emoji3]!

That would be a violation of protocol! There was enough borderline innuendo in these posts to make it amusing and confusing, eh? What a great mess of fish. Congrats.

Just like you, I like my presidents a lot. I also found another in the same price range that is a real winner. The Diawa Regal LT in 1000 size. More the size of a 25 series President , this thing feels great in hand and 10 bearings. Handle one when you can and you’ll see what I mean. Good bag o fish you got there, I could use a few myself. Maybe this weekend.

I agree as well about the Diawa Regal. Actually was just looking to maybe get another 1 or 2 of them.
