I use 2 lb Maxima and have landed largemouth up to 10 lbs while fishing for my beloved Gills. It's incredible line. I placed an order last Spring for 1 lb test but I had to order it from Germany, I couldn't find it here in the US.<br />

TIP: My eyesight isn't what it used to be... and those line Twitches are getting harder to see, so I use 4 lb Gold Fluorescent as the main line and then tie a leader of 2 lb Maxima 7 feet from the hook. The 4 lb also slows the drop a little and that can be very…

The 4 lb also slows the drop a little and that can be very helpful at times. If you try this use a surgeons knot and lots of spit and not a blood knot. I find the Blood knot a lot harder to draw down properly and that my friend is the difference between a good day and a bad one.<br />

Wonderful story and its make sense to be patient and not follow the crowed! Most people beat shoreline or weedbeds to death!<br />
<br />
2 lbs test line to land a 2 lbs 12 oz Bluegill..... WOW! I think that should be world record bluegill for 2 lbs test line!<br />
<br />
Hope to hear from you again what you learn something in southern Calfornia! Someday I would love to fish there and Lower Otay. My wife's uncle live in Bakersfield.

What a great story!!<br />
<br />
I think I had a smile on my face the whole time I read it. :)<br />
<br />
It made me think back to days when my daughter (Skylar) would get a ride on my shoulders to some of my honey holes. My back would ache and my neck would cramp, but it was all worth having her there with me to share the experience.
