I agree Sonny...if the fish are deep or are super light biters than 2 pound quality mono is a must. I can get away with 4 pound line in colored water or 6 feet or shallower. The gills in the local quarry won't go for 4 pound line. Gills in the off colored or tannin waters aren't spooked by 4 or even as high as 8-10 pound test.

Good Work!

Lot of the success Jim is because of the UL fishing. I look for stuff on the screen, watch the water & the birds. Lots of activity - troll faster, no activity - go slow and low. Light jigs (1/48th &1/32nd) troll on top and heavier jigs (1/24th ) to get down. 2lb. test only - 4lb is not Ultra Light.

Jigs I'm using, primarily, are 1/48th &1/32nd. Starting to go deeper - will probably start increasing the weight now. Tail material is either natural (unwashed) duck feathers or fluorescent gray marabou fluffs. HINT.

And what size are they?
And the tail... What IS that?

Great looking fish on the belly-spinners!

What is your retrieve/jigging pattern for these fish in the deeper water?
