    Default Good start to the week.


    Hit Nickajack this morning at 8:30 a.m. In 3 hours caught 17 crappie all 11-12 inch fish. Not what I am looking to bring home and fully expect it to get better as the water cools. It was stifling heat and humidity down there today with the water like glass.....not so much as a hint of a breeze. The fish came out of 21 feet of water holding tight to a ledge wall. I was using the Tict Ice Cube “Rockin Drift” 6‘ 9” UL Mebaru rod with 1.5# test line with an 18 inch section of 2# test Phantom fluorocarbon as a leader. I was twitching a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a 1/64 ounce TM jig head after a countdown of 30 for the drop. Made for a lot of fun using the UL with 1.5# test line. This is my spot that gives up tons of crappie every fall. Life is good!

    Regards

    You can't catch fish on line that light. Everybody knows that.

    I bought this line to have some fun.....and hopefully to see it. Well I can see it in the shade but in sunlight I cannot see it any better than clear line......LOL. It can cast a Trout Magnet a mile......it’s a copolymer and has a lot of stretch........didn’t take any pics but caught a few largemouth around 2 pounds on it today......like you I love the light line!
