Great fun! and way more difficult than on 17lb test

Yea Jim it is a lot of fun....especially if you are not expecting it. I was just trying to hook up with some Gills. The only time I really target big fish with the 2# test is when I target Smallies and go trout fishing. But more often than not when Gill fishing you will get a large mouth on there and a heck of a commotion breaks out...LOL. Going to try at Pickwick tomorrow for some Gills in the lake and go below the dam to try for whites and stripers....won't be using any 2# test below the dam....LOL.
