Good Lord how I want some red limits!

Sometimes the trout run up into the back cuts/lakes with the reds, I fished some guts and drops out in the bay. The reds were there but no trout?? Very strange for this time of year. Tomorrow I'll try a different strategy... I'm sure this full moon isn't giving me any love either...

When yall put new line on a reel, what do you do with the remainder? Normally when I buy braid, Ill buy a 150YD spool and wont use the entire spool. Do yall throw away the remaining line, or do you spool a new reel with the remaining amount and when that spool is empty, open a new package, tie a knot and continue on?

Currently I buy a new package, but it sucks having this all these 3/4 used spools.

Nice. I'm going to have to try that one night. Maybe do a little gifting too. I'm building a floundering boat right now.

That night fishing is in fire with the full moon! Nice!

I turn them into leaders. I use fluorocarbon leaders but have several braided as backups in the off chance I run out

You guys having grass issues, go get you some of these! rig 'em weightless with a 4 or 5/0 screwlock hook (look at the Troutsupport videos on rigging.), and you can fish 'em top or subsurface, walk the dog or add a weighted hook and fish 'em as a normal soft plastic... They work like a champ in floating grass or in growing grass.

Good deal! Tobin just introduced a couple new colors that I think will be good ones. I just ordered some of the Coastal Gold. I intend to use them like a gold spoon for reds. Will probably dip some of the tails in hot pink to simulate a Johnson Sprite with the pink bucktail... Will give me the opportunity to work the grass flats for reds like I would elsewhere with a spoon... I already know the reds can't leave these things alone...

My oldest son Easton has been wanting to catch a redfish for 4 years now. He checked it off his bucket list in a big way Tuesday morning. Big fight he had on his hands but he hung tough and got it in the boat in a hair past 10 minutes.

We sell the heck out of them, but I've never tried them.
