I just use a hook sharpener. I like this one easy to use. https://www.amazon.com/Lansky-Multi-groove-Fish-Hook-Sharpener/dp/B000B8JDTU/ref=sr_1_10?crid=17MNZBLXAQA5Y&keywords=hook+sharpener&qid=1653437854&sprefix=Hook+shar%2Caps%2C348&sr=8-10

My bro with one off the fly rod. Looks like I'm going to have to make another one. Hooked into more I lost 3.

Will since where talking about line. My bro just had a huge Muskie cut 80lb braid like it was nothing going after a Savage gear 12” trout lure. Looks like I’m going to have trun some wire leaders now.

For some reason I'm not a big fan of fluoro

Another thing about bigger hooks are they should be sharpened.

Lol nothing wrong with 80lb braid haha. There's a reason for that. And that is the current I fish in is very strong. Plus the lures I throw. If fishing lakes and not very strong currents I have 35 lb braid on it.

Don't run any leaders unless you know your spooking the fish. Tie straight to the line.

What's wrong with my advice you go from panfish to regular bass. Now your going for something that's 30 times bigger of course you need to step up the weight. I wouldn't tell you 6lb weight if your going for a 30lb fish. Haha.

I hate sticking my rod n truck beds. All kinds of stuff can break them.

Looks good Don but if I'm fishing something that doesn't matter if it swim both sides the same I'll run a needle down the middle of it and then a small treble to it. The free weight it or a split shot to get it down. Now seeing he's talking about swim baits, so the swimbait only swims one...

I use jigheads on pretty much all my plastics. Just plain or I paint them black.

Sorry truecrimson but if I was there I would have had to show you how it’s done and caught it. :):p;) Who knows maybe it was caught before you just got there.

If I haven’t learned by now probably never will haha.

I would stick with the 12lb as you really don’t need anything heavier than that.

Sounds like me fishing from a boat and I’ve been doing it for a awhile now.

The thing is when fishing live vs plastic is live moves on its own as for the plastic you have to make it move to look alive.

Nice ones.

Send some my way haha. None this maybe next year for me.

Looks like your having a blast with this. Next time you throw a big one in. You might wanna get it yourself. Definitely look likes some nice clean fish.

I've done the nail knot on my trout rig hated tying it but was thinking of doing it. As for leader it's 20lb mono.
