[Slow Day But Managed a Nice 18 Pounder]

Maybe there is no" luck" involved in it at all. I would sooner think you just know what the hell youre doing. Keep it up!

[Fear of the "Unknown"]

Not really sure of the back story of the gentleman with the paper bag on his head but the picture of him in the bag with the upside down fish was terribly funny.

Thanks

A good habit to follow regardless of reel brand.

[Okuma Epixor or Coronado]

First off.... I like the Okuma brand, but I would like to share with you some thoughts on the Coronados. I bought two from bass pro about 2 years ago. By the end of the first month of use, I had lost ( they fell off) both little plastic caps that cover the screws that tighten the handle to the reel. Not the end of the world but aggrivating none the less. 6 months in, both bait runner engaging levers began to fail. Sometimes they would engage, sometimes not. Now, I always flip then manually just to be sure. And lastly... This past Feburary I was reeling in a small carp of approx. 8lbs and the reel completly broke into my hands. The entire reel broke away from the reel seat. Granted, it was cold that day but I was just reeling in a fish. The reels are plastic bodied. A fact that I pay attention to now.... when purchasing new reels.

Good News: Even though the reels were past the warrenty period, Okuma repaired/replaced the entire reel body (they did not just give me a new reel). They actually replaced just the reel body and tuned up the reel too. I paid just for shipping.

Bottom Line: Okuma Good

Coronados : Not so much... In my opinion.

[I can't decide]

We should all be so lucky! Nice story. Thanks.

[Day off work = Day at the lake]

Beautiful fish for July. WTG

[Trilene Big Game]

Another vote for Green BG mono. I ues the 15 and 17 lb. No problems. I have yet to break off a fish due to the line. As a matter of fact,,,,,,, when I get snagged, Im surprised how much tention it takes before something gives. IMO
