Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Wow.... friendly needling meets smart XXX remarks... OK I've been schooled....but for the record... 30 lb braid is not light tackle...if you think it is..you have ALOT to learn...well you all have a great season...I know I will...nothing left to say here...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Hi Joe!

I use #30 when I'm using small lures for smaller fish, certainly not when I know the avg. fish in the area is 25,30 plus lbs.
My go-to spring set up #40 braid, #40 leader

No one will school you Joe. What you forgot they will never know.

BTW, there are some nice fish being taken all over. Just some of us don't post about it anymore.

No boat, back in the suds.
