When you fish it that deep, how do you retrieve it?
Travis I get it into what I call a rocking motion.....just a slow rhythmic motion like you are in rocking chair. Big Gills are notorious for swimming with you when they hit it. You don't really feel the hit but you know something is not right with the line. When the Smallies hit it...they are just on....you don't feel any warning whatsoever. The line tightens and you have weight on it and the drag starts screaming.....LOL. When fish are suspended and only fishing it a few feet deep it is totally different. You feel a definite hit. The reason I started fishing NanoFil was for casting distance...but when you have the Magnet that deep you need all the sensitivity you can get. It is really too early to be into the good Crappie where I fish for them...and I know that but am getting antsy for them.


Regards
