Ok, I need help!

[ironman]

No way, you are awsome. i don't know what to do about the line because I don't know what to do with the line I already have on it. do you guy's have a pole for every pound test line or something, i guess i will have to buy another pole.LOL

[mack]

this is what i have

finnesse fishing (grubs, finnesse worms)- 4 pound test
senkos and other plastics- 6 pound test
caster for topwater- 12 pound test
flipping stick for jigs and frogs- 15 pound test.

[texasbasser]

when you want to change line, i just take off all the line on my spool. then put the new line on. i only use 3 rods and im fine.

Ironman, if this is like most central florida ponds I've fished, and it sounds like it is, fish some pumkinseed 6.5" worms texas rigged on a LIGHT bullet weright for about the next two or three weeks. Then, pull out mister spinnerbait, single colorado blade, and go catch a lunker.

Spinnerbaits do not work over here i have tried every color in colorado blade and none work.

That's b/c it's still summer Bass can be caught on a spinnerbit year round, but in a small florida pond, it's more of a fall to spring bait.

[ironman]

Ohhh ok, I guess I will try them again in about a month.

[ironman]

WTL, I just managed to find some 14 pound test would that work??

These coldfronts are also definently have an effect on them, I would recommend what FL said along with a 7.5" red shad culprit worm pegged with a 1/8oz. weight. And also recommend a weightless red shad tiki stick, catches almost all of my fish!!

[WTL]

If you want to save the old line, just wrap it around the top of a 20 oz coke bottle and store it for when you need it.

[ironman]

Ok, that is a good idea.

[mack]

jigs and flipping and pitching.

[ironman]

But plastics is what I flip and pitch

what are you flipping and pitching too? im saying use 10 pound test if you fancasting towards structure underwater like dropoffs, points, etc.

[ironman]

I flip and pitch into those litlle lilly pad opening's with all plastics and jigs.

then id stick with the braid. but for fancasting from shore, id say 10 pound test.

you dont NEED 10 pound for fancasting. i suggested it cause i dont fancast near trees or anything that can fray my line. flipping and pitching is more like casting into the structure like trees. so fan casting for me is more like casting towards the structure but not in it. flipping and pitching is more like casting into it.

[ironman]

Will the braid mess up the lures action though.

i dont think so. but i dont know. i dont use braid cause i dont need it. it will change hooksets tho.

[ironman]

Well lizards told me to use it so I can't really think that it is that bad and besides he uses it also.

[mack]

well im not saying its bad, im saying i prefer heavier line around cover. you can use it anywhere, its all a matter of personal preference. i was just giving my opinion on what i do.

[ironman]

Oh ok.

[WTL]

The larger line can sometimes cause fish not to bite. That doesn't mean the 50 lb braid is worthless, in fact I use 30 lb braid most of the time. For finnessing bass its probably a better idea to go with lighter line though. Its also easier to cast smaller lures with light line.

Lizards said that it has the diameter of 14 pound line though, so it can't be that big.

[Vabass22]

I started out using this method a while ago, and you cna use black too...
Thats the color that really did it for me. I would reddomend everything thatb WTL has said, and I would buy a pack of renegade worms(1.49$ for 20), and get a weight and texas rig them. That way, you can fish the botoom, and cast accurately.
