Thanks Carl ,this was a fantastic 3#, 23.5"  fighter  ,even on an over matched 'Medium ' rod with 10 # test . There is a tenacity in Pickerel this time of year that seems unmatched in other months ,in  terms of their willingness to battle .80 degree surface temp was the case this day . I am thinking the bait caster combo beat her up more than I should have as it took  awhile to revive her . She was lip hooked and not gut hooked . Not bleeding just dog tired ! I am rethinking my approach a bit .

Two more nice Pickerel on Bomber 5A crank baits . Trolling and throwing in 10-20' zone has been contacting some savage fighters.

Glad you found the Pline Premium CX Carl! Let me know how ya like it .It 's strong and less memory and not as stiff as Flourocarbon , so easy to tie knots.
