Thanks for sharing, no doubt this was a day you'll never forget. Makes me wish I could hit the water but don't see that happening until things calm down with work

Awesome catches Bill! I'm curious, do you use an extra long-lighter power rod like the guys down in Tennessee do, or more standard spinning equipment? I've had some success with the technique and enjoy doing it, but don't feel I do it enough to have a specialized setup.

I replied to your message immediately, when I hadn't heard back by this morning I figured you lost interest, my mistake.

The baits are no longer available, if anything changes I’ll let you know

No longer available

Hell of a first post

I decided all this Spinnerbait talk was a good omen and am dedicating a setup to them tomorrow, got a good feeling

With the exception of some nice smallmouth I’ve caught up north on spinners, I’m pretty much in the same boat. Always thought it was a little odd since I’ll catch good brownies on baits representing similar forage as a spinner

So how did you do?!?!?!

I had to do a double take before realizing this thread said 2009 and not 2019

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Defier Armilo for a while now but have always told myself mono "shouldn't" cost that much. Next time a sale pops up I might have to try a spool. What size are you using?

I like 30# PP for walking topwaters usually with as 15# mono leader, but I know guys who use anywhere from 15 to 50 with good results

Call me crazy, but I think the next state record brown bass might come out of a river 🤷‍♂️

Anybody notice the color martens was using? I was a little surprised as most of my success dropshotting at TR has been with shad and night crawler type patterns. Just proves I need to get out of my comfort zone and take a chance more often

Definitely interesting! I was watching on day 1 or 2 when they had the screen split among 4 anglers, all were fishing very differently, yet they all were catching em' consistently
