On a 3" senko?!?! So much for "big baits, big fish"!

this was w/o a doubt the most remarkable experience of my fishing career.

the relative silence is underwhelming

i have what is called a st croix rivermaster. you can throw b/t 4 and 8# line w/ it,  and lures from 1/16 to 1/4 ounce. i have a shimano stradic ultralight spinning real.

i like it because you can lob a light bait, like a 3" senko, a long way w/o any weight. the rod is very sensitve, and when you hold it high you can keep alot of line out of the water.
the long length lets you take out a ton of slack on the hookset, then acts like a giant shock absober for landing big fish on light line.

if you are ever over a dick's , you might see some on the st croix rack.

i have become accustomed to it, and really enjoy the feel.

it is probably like a fly rod w/ a spinning reel.

maybe not for everybody, but it worked just like i hoped it would on that big bass.

i just have to remember to sweep the hookset.

i smuggled my wife's camera out of the house saturday. i hooked another very big fish in the same area, but choked and broke it off.

i understand the picture concept, but by the same token i am 42 yrs old, and take fishing seriously.
i wouldnt claim a fish I didnt weigh.
