Tell Me About Superlines

I understand that. But what i was saying is, since you wind up the same diameter line on your reel, you don't get to use the line to it's full potential. If you hook into a rock at the bottom of the water and your rod and reel can't handle the pressure, you have to cut the line. It gives your peace of mind, but it also can give you P.I.T.A. situations.

One breaks the line by pulling directly on the line. The rod and reel are out of the equation. Take the wraps around your stick in front of the reel.
Walk backwards while pointing the rod at the snag.
If you have braid that is too heavy to break, use a leader that you can break.
Again, the rod and the reel play no role when you want to break off a snag.

My cuts were not little.

On the retrieve , I hold the rod in front of the reel with the line running between the thumb and forefinger. It gives me better contact with lure. Tape would impede the sensitivity. I dont let go when setting the hook.It works for me. Two of my fishing pals , have adopted the same technique and they cut themselves too.

Dipbait, the braid should be sensitive enough that you don't have to run the line thru your fingers.
But we get used to old habits.

Flourocarbon?
That's what drove me to braid :)
 
Do you carry a thermometer in the spring?
I bought a fish tank thermometer that fits in a cigar tube.
Tied about 10' of cord to the tube, thru the cap and onto the thermometer.
When you want to use it, remove it from the tube, unwind the cord from the tube, toss it in the water with the tube in your pocket.
Wait a few and check the temp :)

I have found that LMB seem to start jumping at 60ºF and up.

Carrying a thermometer will help you find the warmer parts of your pond, where the action will heat up first. This will happen in the same spots year after year.
Think NW corner :D
 
Its not to early for bass. Ive caught them at ice out. A Jig and Pig is a good choice, as is the lowly Beetle Spin. The Argobast Mudbug fished as slow as possible has caught several lunkers for me in cold water. Just have to give it a try.
 
The edges are melting a bit. Got out to setup a 3D course yesterday at my buddy's place, the river are starting to fill with the snow melts, but still got about a foot in the woods.
 
Braid is the only thing I use anymore.

Sufix or Power pro......excellent stuff
