You really know how to hurt a guy, don't you? -)

But if you really want a report, here it is: I'm not catching a freakin'
thing!!! -(

Heck I've been kicking some butt, I've been nailing the Spots, no large
mouths, but a bass is a bass :-), nothing over 4 lbs over the last few
weeks, but I've been using a 9 1/2 foot steel head rod with 6 lb test,
makes landing these little guys a challenge

Where's the challenge in landing a 4 lb. fish on 6 lb. test ?
Hell, you just winch 'em in, what's the big deal ?

I suggest that catching a 4 lb. fish on 6 lb. test
usually ain't all that much of a challenge.

Now, catching a 15 lb. fish on 6 lb. test *that's*
a challenge.

Of course I'm hoping for bigger fish, a mouth ago I caught a 6 lb 3 Oz
LM on that rig

I've caught a 22 lb fish on 4 lb test That one was a flat head cat
caught on a single cricket while bream fishing, 1 hour and 43 min. fight

I've also caught a 12 lb hybrid strip (twice the fight of a bass) on 4
lb test. 48 min fight.

I know what fighting good fish on light tackle is all about, it's just
more fun than my favorite bait caster loaded with 14 lb sufix catching 4
lb and under fish

I have seen 6 lb and under bass break 10 lb line more than once when
people tried to horse them in.

I keep the drag on my 2500 (filled with 6 Lb) set at 2 lbs, I could be
using 4 Lb test and I would not know the difference in the battle,
between it and 6 lb, with that drag setting, plus with that St Croix 9
1/2 foot steel head rod it's a blast to catch those 4 lb fish, but with
that rig I could land a 10 lb or better fish, it would just take a
while, and there just can't be any snags anywhere close by.
