>>1321460yeah i misread, i thought it was mono, 8 pound braid is perfect.
as for redds, it's mostly something i get after i order a beer i didn't like because it still tastes -vaguely- like beer but the apple kinda over-rides whatever it was about the beer i didn't like, and freshens me up for a second take. at the moment, i think red stripe is my favorite, though i liked fat-tire and something called "twisted kilt" by the thirsty dog brewing company
>i didn't take this picture >>1321234the lure you were using should have a good hook up ratio. it sounds like it was either agressive panfish or dink bass, you probably should have tried a similarly sized jerk bait to see if they were just nipping the tail
