First smallie of the year

Usually. But with us expecting so much grass that wasn't around I switched to crystal invis for the trip. Most of my reels have flouro on but top water. Oh and don't buy berkley flouro for winter time fishing! I switched out two reels to it because of the good reviews. I snapped off 4 baits on a newton trip cause it got cold and stiffened up.

which type of berkley fluoro? i iced fish this winter multiple times with the Triliene 100 % fluoro and never had a prob...

Exact kind. Could of been a bad spool but it sucked. Throwing traps and cranks at newton the line became brittle and snapped. But, I'll never use it again. I'll stick with seagar

You guys ever tried Viscious Flouro ? I like it alot.

Come on, its definately "small" and has a "small mouth" but not even CLOSE to an actual smallmouth.
