Re: day 1 MLF leader caught 58+ LBS FOR 5!!!!!!!

Mike,

I think the MLF format is an "all you can catch" deal. In other words every fish landed gets weighed, added to their score, and released on the spot. 58lbs for 5 would be insane!

Re: Powell Football Jig Rod

Sushi,

I highly recommend the Powell Endurance 714 C for heavier football jigs. I started using this rod last year and I now prefer it over my 734 when jig fishing. I showed this rod to a couple of my buddies and they too have one rigged up every time the jig bite is on!

Re: Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon Line

You get what you pay for. Seaguar Tatsu is the strongest and softest fluorocarbon line made, period. This is because Seaguar is the only manufacturer that extrudes 2 different 100% fluorocarbon resins into one solid piece. The harder interior resin is for tensile strength and longevity, while the so...
