>>1856221Nice! Looking for one of those myself
>>1856233I used a strikeforce for a long time and I never had any problems with it, good choice. The QR750 is a bit of an upgrade but worth it for like $25 imo. If you wanna be tying leaders all the time, that's on you. I use braid on everything but my ultralight because of that
>>1856266Nice fish but that's the most insane long arming a fish I've ever seen
>>1856450Have a medium light somewhere between 6'5 and 7'6 with a reel (daiwa if you're a daiwaboo like me) with 10lb braid with a fluorocarbon leader or 6-8lb monofilament. If you're fishing rivers like mine then jigheads and 2-4 inch soft plastics with the occasional jerkbait or topwater is really all you need at it's most basic. Like skid said, look for riffles and the Eddies after them. Know what species are in your local watershed and find the best way to target them where you think that they'll be. No two rivers are the same.
I ended up catching my PB saugeye on a keitech easy shiner today, how are you guys doing?
