That is funny right there Alpha!!!!, nice job man!! just like Nomad said, it is my morning stop to read your posts and look at the pics, nice fish all of them!!, I hope my Trout and Crappie magnets come in today or tomorrow to give them a try at Normandy this weekend but it seems like i can't bring myself to fish with line less than 4 lbs, is that too big of a difference than fish with 2 lbs??[/QUOTE]

Thanks guys. Going to true UL fishing is quite a transition. While I am a big believer in my Trout Magnets you will catch more fish when you use any good micro lures...jigs. It took me a while to get used to the 2# test. I wanted to give up on it....but I was catching lots of fish. Yes there is that much difference in using 2# test over 4# test. If you have a decent reel it will just take you time to figure out proper drag adjustment. I cut my teeth with UL fishing on big White Bass....I was breaking off so many fish. Once I learned to properly set my drag I haven't looked back. Many on this forum that use the Trout Magnet will tell you that 2# test makes a big difference. I am spooling up some 1# test now.


Regards
