That is a good looking reel, congrats!

Brrr....hope that ice leaves you soon and does not come back. Great catch on the jigs, bet they are sharp!

Heck yea, a fine mess of Specks. The Triple Cross is an excellent float rod, and the Tubular version with flat shoot a jig under a dock. Good catch, congrats.

Congratulations, that’s a toad. Pics of the hand tie?

I like those hotels, our lakes trying to come up a little, rains this next week should help. Catching crappie that deep on that big bait is crazy, they must be awful hungry down there.

Hey great catch on the new nylon. I have about 5 trips on my spool and absolutely no problems so far. No fish break offs and no spool issues or evident line twisting. I went tonight and caught 4...

Back to the original post about the rod, looking at the specs it does seem like a fun rod. With a butt (base) diameter of only 6mm it should feel very light and delicate in the hand. A new Shimano...

Those look good, that super sharp hook is going to stick a bunch of your local fish. The pill head design gives a little wobble when trolled, makes me think of Ledhed and his trolling for those big...

Good catch, the waxworm looks like a great Gill getter.

Two great rods those are. I really like the Varivas line as well. Good lengths on those Gills, nice catch. That Nikko bait looks realistic, going to get me a few packs.

Seriously, that would be warm for up here today. I went yesterday and this afternoon and spanked a few of those green ones, but mine were caught in a super cold shallow water creek. Would love to...

Late Winter/Early Spring in East Tennessee brings the Bass into the shallow water creeks looking for warming waters and an easy meal. The last 3 years I have battled these rascals with this JDM...

Good catch!

Some of our area lakes fluctuate almost 40ft each year. I use Google Earth to look for gravel areas, primarily driveways, ramps, and dock areas that have gravel that extend out into the water. Of...

Good catch. It has been cold up here, glad to see you guys braving the elements and getting a nice mess.

Any pictures......what rod you paring it with?

Sounds like a fun mixed bag kind of day. Cold it is, got me staying inside most afternoons as well. That reel looks good on that rod, nice combination.

Enjoyed the video with the spoons and the Tenryu. Did you talk about the line used?

Heck yea, a pair beats one!

Great looking boat, bet she is perfect for those tannic backwaters. Good catch too, mixed bags are more fun, never know what is coming in next.

Finding a mold for that style hook eye could be difficult. A custom mold made to fit with .5, 1, and 1.5g heads would be a good investment if the hook can be sourced in large quantities.

Just an FYI Digitaka has 3 new Daiwa reels listed that will be available soon...Caldia LT, Freams Lt, and Luvias Airity. All 2021 models and all come in the 1000 series. Maybe one will fall in your...

A quick trip to the lake yesterday afternoon gave me another hour or two with the new monofilament from Varivas on a different rod and different fishing technique. First trip out was float fishing...

Oh wow, sounds like the ultimate combination. Congrats and pics please when you get them hooked up!

Those guides do look interesting. I think ABU has become a new player in this JDM game.

Good to see you out wading, hope there is a video. Has the 6.7 ABU Slow Taper Special taken a back seat to the Diplomat? Would it do well for trout in these conditions? Just curious :biggrin

That is a pretty warm water temperature for mid January. 39 up stream from you.....way upstream. Good catch though.

Pretty fish, probably the mama to many of the stockers you have been catching :biggrin

Good catch, don’t blame him for wanting a mess of Gills, a fine eating fish.
