Great tip....how was the night bite. I heard lots of shorts!
At 55 my eyes, even with bifocals, have a problem threading 4-10 pound line through hook eyes. The other day while picking up dental floss, a light bulb came on when I saw dental threaders. This is a looped piece of nylon that looks like 20 lb mono with the loop around 6lb. Works very similar to a needle threader in sewing. They come in packs of 25 and the drug store I was in had a 2fer sale. Took a few with me to Dougles Lake my last night fishing trip, and did they make the difference. My favorite knot is a palomar, so I needed to go through the eye twice. With the dental threader, one time with the loop and I was done. Yesterday, with winter coming on, I sat down to make bobber stops, the threader made it super simple making a nail knot with the nailknot tool.
Hope this help others
It was last Friday. It all depends on your perspective. I was under the bridge at Indian creek until 3am and caught 20-25 crappie, but not one keeper. A nine incher was the largest. Boated four or five stripe and a 2-3 lb Cat (on 4lb line) I was fishing a minnow only at 12 to 15 ft.
Sounds bout right. I had heard nearly 50-1 with lots of 6-8" only fish. I've got a buddy coming from NC one night this week...we're trying to decide Douglas or Cherokee! Thanks for info!!

'Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.
And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me... Matthew 11:4-6Tenn_Archer LIKED above post
I thought about that, but thought there would be less chance of damaging the line with nylon.
