A little more fishing time with the Slow Taper Special. I hit Lake X this morning for a little while but did not stay long. The fish did not cooperate and with all the lilly pads and grass not a lot of openings around the lake to fish a jig. I did manage a 10 inch shell cracker.....he is spawned out and a little thin. But the hit he put on the rod was awesome. Feeling the hit on this rod is just at another level....then playing the fish in and the rod behavior is truly a joy to feel. I got a shot of the bend with the shell cracker. I had to pass VFW Lake to get home so stopped off there and tangled with the smaller bluegill and bass some. I am including a shot of just how well the TWRA techs keep the grounds up around the lake. The place looks like a manicured golf course....hats off to them. Folks have asked me over the years which of the JDM rods are my favorite....I always replied that I really did not have a favorite......well that is no longer true.....the Eradicator is hands down my favorite. While I still want the Ever Green I am strongly looking at the 6’ 9’ Eradicator XUL. I am just concerned it may be too similar to the 6’ 7”.....but Abu Garcia states it is softer than the Slow Taper.
