Thread: Redbreast sunfish on UL tackle.

Those are some drag squealing panfish for sure! A mixed bag on 1lb test line is awesome. The UL action of the rod must really help from breaking off the larger hard charging fish. I have problems with the whisker fish slicing my Nanofil when they start that rolling action as they head for deeper water. Great Video!

Howdy, I’m in your group on FB.

Excellent video!

Good video alphahawk. How do you work the retrieve on the trout magnet?

Not a problem. We all get lazy.

I noticed you were using a plain TM (not tipped with bait.) Do you ever tip with bait? For me, tipping is crucial on some days and completely unnecessary on others.

Sorry for the late reply, BTW. I had jury duty yesterday and wasn't able to get online much.

Thanks for watching. That rod takes a lot of pressure off the NanoFil. The new XUL rod will be even better. I have a love hate relationship with that line. I always use a fluorocarbon leader with it and of course that is one more knot to tie that I can’t see...LOL. I could use some 1-1.5# test mono out of Japan but that would get expensive....although I think I have a couple of spools of it laying around.

I’m about the same with you on the tipping. Sometimes I find it necessary.......especially when I start fishing deep...say 15 feet deep or more. I find it gives me a little more time to set the hook. I’ve found with getting older the reflex action is not what it used to be. Jury duty.......depending on the case that can be a rough go.

I just asked them if we get to personally execute the criminals, and they said I could go home early.
