@nwifishing5228Ай бұрын
Hi thank you for your question. Yes I really do. I love that the color matches really well. It's a really smooth reel and I can cast out decently far. I also feel like you really get very good feedback from the line thru the Ugly stik rod. There are two things that I don't really like that much. 1: the rod is not as stiff as I would like it to be. I personally prefer stiff rods. 2: I feel like this combo is a little heavy. When I pick up my Speed Demon pro rod and speed demon elite reel combo and compare it to the ugly stik carbon and royal legend glory combo there is a big difference in weight. But I still love it and would definitely recommend it. So if you're on the fence just go ahead and buy it and try it yourself. You won't be disappointed.

He said a guy caught a 12 pounder. I might try it tomorrow not sure, I just want to catch one more for my bucket list. Probably be crowded they start to bit at first light, even if you don’t catch one, you know immediately if someone hooks one and it’s great fun. They are famous for their acrobatics.

@nwifishing52282 ай бұрын
Thank you for commenting. I definitely understand. I've been there trust me. It could be the area you are fishing has lots of algae. I would try to avoid it if you can (this could also be a good thing sometimes). It could also be the time of day. I have had better success fishing early in the morning or in the evening. But I have caught fish at all times of the day. I would stick to areas that have a lot of vegetation or structures like branches, fallen trees, lily pads, etc. Just be careful these areas can cause a lot of snags. I recommend using stick baits such as senkos, weedless jigs with trailers and I really like the Nikko hellgrammite, it's a little pricey but they are so durable. I hope this helps.
