I switched out my bulky old mono fishing line for some 4 ply braid, 0.30mm, 16.5kg, but for some reason when I tried laying this line it doesn’t lay evenly, it is wider at the top, my reel doesn’t have the washers thingy as you can see, it just clips on, is my reel a lost cause?
New PB on fly. Had to grind for this guy all day in high winds but the persistence paid off. He snatched up a leech pattern and the fight was on.
Front treble hook got bent, and need some recommendations on replacements. Both stripers hit within the last 10 yards of the retrieve. Posted by MinuteStock167
