    Waiting for you to get back out on LM on the john boat. What kind of line do you use when fishing the tightrope. I have been using 12# braid with a 10# leader I am losing to many jigs??? Which i totaly get fishing the rocks. Best of luck to you. Be Safe.

      @JimJanda-o2t I use straight 15lb flouro as I tend to use the 1/4 oz jig on my baitcaster . For spinning rod purposes, the 1/8 oz jig is good with 10lb braid and 10lb leader . It also helps to constantly check your line after you drag thru the rocks. A lot of the time, your line will be frayed from zebra mussels, and you won't notice . If you're looking for boat action on the big pond the next video will have you satisfied!

    Great content as always...regarding the GLF Juvy Craw....are you having trouble with your hook moving out of the gap between the pincers? I am constantly having to check the hook and reset it...great bait though like all GLF...good fishin'!

    • @suburbanangling
      @suburbanangling  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks! Yes, the curve of the hook likes to move around a bit . I always keep it in between the antennas, and it'll stay like that until I hook a fish . Small price to pay for fish catching ability! Thanks again

      @TomStarcevich-fb3qo make sure you also are using the great lakes finesse tube heads to match . They're shaped for the tube head . Anything smaller will slip up the line after every fish...which I don't mind, but some will not like

      If I had to choose one overall rod . 7 foot medium/medium heavy spinning rod 2500 size reel with 10-15lb braid . That'll be able to toss most stuff . If you prefer baitcasters then the same rod but in casting version and a 150 size daiwa/shimano
