I would personally throw a bait with treble hooks like a 6 inch triple trout or 6 inch bbz something jerky in motion would draw most strikes. Since trout like to nip baits rather than eat em, the trebles with grab those fish that just nip at it . Obviously if your going to throw soft baits like a 68 or a magdraft 7 inch or osprey 6 inch run stingers on the belly and on the tail with smaller trebles than you would us for bass. Thin wire trebles are best with light line 15lb. Good luck

water came up 11 feet, was there sunday and it was deader than dead. All that cold muddy water came in at once and pushed them out deep and gave them lock jaw I'd wait till after all weather passes and it warms back up before going there good luck

Looks promising, does the line feed through then sit in that secondary tube there?

Fished the old white box fluro they made and it crazy tough and strong , I liked the 17lb for hudd fishing on a 200size curado. Plenty strong to boat flip 7 and 8lb bass with no hesitation. The only con is it's very stiff which on the spool it tends to want to fly off the reel and cause a backlash if aren't on your toes, other than that it's pretty darn good fluro for the money.

Think you will be fine with that bro, the large feels way over powered to me for anything under 3 1/2oz . Personally I think the the large is only good for things life ROF 12-16hudds and Bait Smith's with heavy mono since it is really stiff and fast . So you should be fine with the JR for anything 1oz to 4oz . You want some flex to throw the bait and keep em pinned you don't need a pool stick with guides to throw a swimbait just my opinion

Lol it's exactly what it sounds like, an idiot fisherman jerking on perch or just plain don't know what the hell they are doing out there and are in your way

I live in HB, pound NPH all the time, even got some pretty good secrets to get there bit more often. Cool dude hit me up sometime if your down to go fish Newport or Perris our something from the tube or what ever, you can shoot me a pm and I'll send you my contact info

Perch jerkers, swimbait hipsters for sure, spot robbers, jetskiers, mud hens, anybody feeding ducks where I'm fishing, and quote" oh is there really fish in here" "look he caught one(talking about my swimbait)" things are things I hate the most do these and for sure you will be getting the finger and or be avoided and ignored.

Where do you live dude ? Socal? I do a lot of bay fishing for spotties in Newport harbor in the tube and tube Perris lake and sliverwood in the summer

There's not to many bass in there anymore the vast majority died in a huge die off from last year and thus year we had some electro fishing done there to.survey what was left and if was very sad to see the results from the survey, total of 10 bass captured for 2 days of electro shocking. And about 80 carp . Good luck dude might have more success at Santa fe res.

Nice spottie dude what bay did u catch em at?

For sure man. No hate, I just don't believe things I read on the internet unless I see some proof. No worries dude i hear ya. Those fish are deff still out there to be caught

Good fish dude, how much did that fat girl weigh?

Lol largies son and i dont have to prove anything to anyone if u knew me in person u would know i dont make up fish stories, heck im on the water 24/7 baby and chances are if u fish socal u knew where i caught em.

Thanks Socalbassmaster. this answers my question. I don't want to use flouro if I don't have to. Flouro has its own set of problems as a main line. So, basically what you are saying even though swimbaits are generally fished slow its still a reaction bait and the heavy line being braid or mono doesn't impact amount of strikes. Exactly dude u got it. DONT WORRY about them seeing the line cause they dont.

PB of 15#s wowee I wish my PB was even close to that! yeap my second biggest is 13.2lbs just about every body of water in southern california have a lake record of 13lbs or bigger with at least 5 bodies of water having the lake record at 20lbs or slightly bigger its pretty common to catch multiple fish in the 10+ class in a single day here on certain bodies of water
