    Default Epic battle on the Eradicator!


    I’ve caught a ton of Smallies in the 18-21 inch range on nylon 2# test line....the Smallie I got today was at the 17 inch mark.....but popping fat. I had the 6’ 7” Slow Taper Special Super Ultra Light with the Abu Garcia Revo MGX Theta spooled up with the 2.3# test ester monofilament line. The jig head was a Daiwa Gekkabijin # 8 hook dressed with a Sow Bug Trout Magnet. It was a heck of a battle. Also caught a few crappie at the 11-12 inch mark. The action of the rod really helped protect the line...for those that fish ester know it will pop in a micro second. This one fish made my day. Life is good!

    Man what a fight that must have been! I don't imagine that was a one minute haul-in.

    That fish has been eating good that’s for sure! Sowbug is such a good color for smallies and crappie... that Abu is a great rod that protects light line very well...

    Wow, what a smallie. If it ate one more shad I think it would explode! Nice catch.
