Some New Gear & Some Smallies!

[rrw4258]

Made it out onto the big water yesterday and was able to manage a decent 19-3 bag of smallies. Big bass was 5lb. 2oz.!! Also had several in the 4 lb. range and quite a few from 2-3 lbs. Caught most of the fish on a Jackall Crosstail Shad dropshotted in various colors. And caught the two big girls in 6 feet of water digging a Strike King 5XD into the bottom! Both of them hit those crankbaits with about 7-8 feet of line out right next to the boat. That made for some exciting jumps and tugging until they were put in the net!

Also thought I would share some pics of the new gear... First is a Revo MGX in 7.9:1 ratio. So far I absolutley love this reel. It feels very small in hand next to my Premiers, but it is rock solid, and has a ton of power. I have it on a 7' M-MF Veritas. Also new is my DS rod... a 7' M-XF Kistler Helium LTA. It has been the best DS rod I have put my hands on yet. The rod has such a soft tip on it (but not too soft to throw 3/8-1/2 weights) and the tip transfers right into backbone. Got it matched up with my Pflueger Patriarch and the thread raps are metalic blue which match the reel perfectly. Pics are below!
