Thread: Tenryu Rayz Alter pushed to the limit...

I fished this evening with the same rod and lure. I caught a small white bass then things went cold. I moved over to another area and second cast BOOM, hard hit and the drag was singing, I had to run down the shoreline and follow the fish towards my dock. I fought it for close to ten minutes and wasn't so lucky, this time the line broke. I should have peeled off some of the line from last night, there was probably a week spot. These flatheads really like micro lures, who'da thunk it. Oh well, such is ultralight fishing...

I have to deal with catfish in the summer all the time hitting the Trout Magnet. Had to move out of a pocket on the lake at Williamsport one year. It was every 3-4 casts and one of those things would hit. That got old quick. You’re right they can mess up some light line.

They've got me thinking of switching back to braid but I just hate the noise it makes going through the guides. It makes me wonder if the guides will get damaged over time.
