Impressed by how solid and simple they are.
Have you been using them at PKH or are you sticking with those river runners you mentioned? What size rod/line and how are you retrieving the KM?
All my gear is set up on TM size stuff that I've been teaching 3 boys on.

I will throw the 1/12 and 1/8 Kastmasters on 2# and 4# test but throw the 1/4 size and larger on 6# test fluorocarbon. There are times when I will get into a lot of bass at the one pound mark and will use the 2# or 4# test setups but let a 2 pound plus bass hit them and you have a big commotion going on.....LOL. It is not much fun reeling in a one pound bass on 6# test fluorocarbon....it is some strong stuff. So that is why I step it down to the smaller gear....but when doing that there will always be a couple of big ones hit the smaller size. I just use the River Rockers in the current in the tailrace. They work incredibly well and if largemouth are in there they will hit them hard. The drum were hitting them today but switched over to a jig so as not to have to deal with those trebles. I think this cold front had the fish turned off down there....for whatever reason they weren't in a feeding mood.
