Only had an hour and half this morning so, I grabbed my 4’6” Daiwa Trout XUL paired up with a Shimano Nasci 500 reel .
Using spoons, spinners , and small crankbaits , the little bass wanted to play and that was ok with me .
I did hookup with a nice bluegill within the first ten minutes of casting, but it was close to the bank and it came unhooked . :( .
Nice, Gill!

Fun times .
Good luck !
A misty overcast morning at the Town pond .
The fish are going to tear it up .
So , I thought. :)
Took a couple of 6’ St Croix rods today , my Avid Panfish ULF and my Premier ULF .
Reel were Daiwa , both 1000’s , one a Legalis LT 1000d , the other , a new acquisition , a Fuego LT 1000d .
I’ve liked all of my 1000 LT Daiwa reels so far , but with the Fuego LT, I might be in love . :heart .
It is unbelievably smooth and both paired up perfectly with the six footers .
Six foot may be the best overall rod length. It seems to do fish all lures from soft plastics to hard baits well .
Oh yeah , the catch . :)
I caught one bass on a 2.5g silver spoon with a forked piece of of a plastic bait I found in the grass where somebody threw it away .
It worked ! My biggest bass as of late . Made my morning !
I threw spoons , spinners and plastics . Even tried float and fly with one of my 1/80 hand tied jigs . But it going got me a couple of tail nippers .
Nice one! Hardly ever fish spoons and spinners anymore without some sort of trailer. That's another good reason to switch to single hooks.
This morning started out cloudy and then to Party cloudy followed by the wind picking up around noon .
I visited the local water reservoir that would I would usually fish for green sunfish, but the water is down between 2-3’ leaving the riprap dry . Also made it hazardous for me to walk on the rocks to get to the water .
I fished a Daiwa 5’6” Gekkabijin Ajing Rod paired with my new favorite reel. A Daiwa Fuego LT 1000D , spooled with 3# P-line Flouroclear line .
I caught three bass today using 2.5g silver spoons and a Mepps spinner tipped with a shortened chartreuse curly tail . The smallest came on the Mepps .
I’m not minding catching a few bass lately , it’s a nice change and they do put up a good fight on ultralight.
Too a pic of the other fisherman that kept me company for about an hour .
You can see in the pics how low the water is .
Nice pics and fish, the new reel looks like it was made for that rod.
Daredevil? I think I remember them spoons from when in Pennsylvania back when....interesting
