I like Strike King Contra braid but I used 15lb. I just can’t use anything under 15lbs braid the line is just too small in diameter. I’m more of a power fisherman so I like power finesse. I would run a 4lb test fluorocarbon leader to the braid. The fish don’t mind at all.

Great comparison Chris. After experimenting myself, I started changing all my ultralite braid to 6 lb. high vis chartreuse Daiwa J-8 braid. I got a VAnford, so I bought some red Kastking 6 lb. Super 8. It performed just as well as the J-8. Then I tried some 5lb. phenix ironfeather in pink. I thought it would look good on my Vanford, and I was correct. It's my new favorite braid. Casts further and is very durable. It looks a lot like the JDM line you used in this video. My next step was trying "Varivas Ester" line. 2.3 lb. is where I'm at on my 2000 size ultra lite reels now. I use it for twitching and swimming small creature lures and Trout Magnets. I believe that it casts further and is more sensitive than braid, but it is way tougher to use. Not a line for beginners, but awesome for those who use ultra lite and super ultra lite gear for panfish. Thanks for sharing! Always enjoy your take on all things fishing!

PERFECT!!!! ...So how long 'ya think it'll take me to get there from Raleigh, NC?

Fishing in the wind has been a challenge for me this past week here in NC as well. Either having to cast into it or across it. No distance either way, but the cross wind is a nightmare. 40 feet to one side or the other easy, and then getting the bow out of the line before starting your desired retrieve... frustrating. Funny enough, I've lost about 4 jigs, but none of them were because of the wind! All on underwater snags. Tight lines Chris!

Straight forward and easy, awesome guide. Thank you for the heads up on the ignition start. I nearly had a heart attack when it didn't start right away.

Chris got my bugs a few weeks ago, waiting for hard water to start flowing again and I'll be lunching these babies into water. Excited to see how the fish respond thinking Smallies will crush these.

Thanks so much Chris! I’m really excited to see what you catch this year - I have a feeling it’s going to catch some big ones along the way 👊🏽🤠

Awesome stuff

Hey brother, I understand entirely you don’t wanna disclose the spot, but would you mind me asking where this little spillway is? Looking for some spots to panfish.

Great looking baits.

That is an awesome place there. I have wanted to fish there ever since talk started about tearing the dam out. I pray they leave it alone. They removed one close to me and it killed the fishing. God Bless my friend. Great video.

I'm picking a few packs of these up very soon I got to see these in person at Creek Fishing Adventures booth at the East Tennessee Fishing Expo. Great upload bud

Looking to get my own and try and support Creek Fishing Adventures. Thanks for sharing.

Let’s go fish them

No idea why you don't have more subs, Great content every time!

Great video and thank you for sharing!! Hopefully I can buy some and try them out.. have a good day and weekend. Take care and god bless.

Thank you Chris for the information i think john and Ethan killed on the bluegrass bug hopefully i can put in my order in soon I will be using your link

Got mine yesterday! WooHOO!

Got my order. But not all colors. I will order the creek water and creamsicle next.

Awesome video man

We don’t have a quarter of the stuff at our store

You should review the Ozark Trail 2 Pack 10400mAh Rechargeable Portable 3 Temp Hand Warmer for Camping.

Yea you never know what Ollie’s will have from one day to the next for fishing stuff. They could have off brand to name brand. And best of all it’s cheap. 😂

Got my order today. Can't wait to give them a try. Thanks for the vid Chris.

Another great video try to warm up be careful out there

My local one pretty much keeps bobby garland baits

Those are the jigs that didn't make the cut at the Bobby Garland factory :) Keep an eye on Robinson Salvage in Dalton, sometimes they have great name brand fishing tackle and rods and reels.

Did you know you can seal hot hand style hand warmers in a Ziplock bag, roll the bag to remove air and seal and you are able to reuse multiple times? Something worth trying. I use 4 of the large warmers at a time and am able to use them multiple times. Southeast Iowa ways

Well, I find myself bank fishing a lot more,between boat trips, and it's all your fault. 😊. I have missed it. I've realized something, real quick. I've gotta stock more jig heads, cause I'm loosing more. You have opened my eyes again to it. Chuck from Arkansas.

Whoa! I have an Ollie’s in the area, ain’t been in a minute. Thx. Been crushing the Crystal hot sauce since your review, that’s some good 💩. Have a great weekend.

Every time I go fishing it seems that I have to fight the wind. Casting between the gust. Great video Chris.
