No big fish caught with it today, not a lack of trying, but was more focused on the deeper gills with the 610 Lunakia.
I spent most of the day throwing a Slider Bass 3” kick tail grub on a 3.5 gram minnow head or a 2.5 gram marabou jig n eel. No takers on either of those, but like I said I wasn’t really in the place for those, was more just for the experience of fishing these lures on this rod.
I did however rig up a drop shot with a #2 hook and a 2” gulp minnow thinking I may have a chance at a smallie or big drum in a place known to hold them... ended up with two nice gills on that rig!
I was totally surprised by this rod, I definitely had total control and power over those bluegills, but the rod softly loaded up into a nice curve and I still had a fun fight on my hands. Now, I was in the canal fishing bridge piers between the lakes and by 1100hrs they were pulling some major currents that was flowing through the tiny canal.
I can’t wait to fish this rod more, I think for my uses, especially when I travel and am fishing the big river, this may quickly move into most useful tool territory for me.
It will be a blast pulling these big KY lake crappie out of the brush piles later on this fall/winter.
This will be glued to my hands next trip I fish below the dam.
Tenryu has one again crafted an excellent tool for my arsenal... strong backbone, soft tip, excellent reel seat, super sensitive.
The only downside... this won’t fit in my BandW sports twin rod case, it will only accommodate up to 7 foot 4 inches. That will be remedied soon, I’m moving from a rod combo case to a clear creek semi custom rod tribe and a separate reel case.
