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

This showdown between Martens and Montgomery has been pretty entertaining. Ive always liked Aaron but both seem like good dudes

I thought the game is at 2?

Only 1 fish over 5# so far, I figured there might be more, but I guess this is a quantity game anyway. Definitely enjoying the bit that I can watch

Ah yes I'm in that group also, wasn't sure if OP used Facebook

You should check out the Swimbait Underground forums, lots of good info

Oh I know it would be nearly impossible to determine, just wish that wasn't the case haha

I'm more interested in the end mortality rate than where the fish are released.

Yea a lot, but like Ham I don't really thrown them without one. I just keep it simple and use a Zoom fluke as my trailer

These look excellent
