Do you love big bluegill?

2nd fish caught with the 2WT

2nd fish caught. Had 2 other bite both broke off one taking almost all my line to the backer line I'm thinking it was one of my Hybrid Strippers but I guess I'll really never know. I think I'm going to really be able to get into the new rod.

My goal is to catch a hybrid stripper on it don't know that it will happen but that's my goal and after using the rod a little my goal may be a little high. I had one hooked yesterday and he almost got to my backing then broke off but it was at least great till that happened.

Comment by Ronnie M. on July 15, 2012 at 5:55am: Good catch Dick. Looks like you are enjoying the rod.

Comment by dick tabbert on July 15, 2012 at 5:30am: Greg I got to admit the Hybrid Stripper peeling off all than line in a matter of seconds like it did was a high even though I didn't have a chance of landing it WOW. I really do think I'm going to love it and I get it Greg I'm the wind in the knot thanks for the clarification.

Comment by dick tabbert on July 15, 2012 at 4:48am: Greg you know the 2WT was fun I got to agree but I don't think I ever could go to a 1WT but lucky for me I don't eat a lot of fish. I do think maybe I'll go up to a 4X tippet unstead of the 3X they put on at Cabelas I really want a 5X but don't want to break nothing.

Comment by Greg McWilliams on July 15, 2012 at 4:21am: Dick, You don't need wind for WIND KNOTS!!!!! It is just the excuse FLY-RODDERS can fall back on!!!!!!! YOU LOVE the 2 WT. eh!!!!! How about a 1 wt.???? LOL

A record size BLUEGILL, might do the same as what the striper would do!!!!!!! Ah the one that got AWAY!!!!!!! I would go with the BLUEGILL story!!!!!!

Comment by dick tabbert on July 14, 2012 at 9:10pm: Tooty there was no wind.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on July 14, 2012 at 8:12pm: OUTSTANDING DICK!!!!!!! GLAD you have most of the kinks worked out and 4 wind knots isn't all that bad ole buddy. Congrats and tight lines ! I'll bet that bass was fun on the 2 weight huh!

Hey Dick, you haven't pierced an ear yet? Happens to the best of us !

Comment by dick tabbert on July 14, 2012 at 8:04pm: Leo I wish that were true after spending 70 bucks at Cabelas for the lines I already have about 4 knots in my tippet only using it four an hour or so. But it is a fun rod I just have to learn it.
