Reelfoot slabs this weekend…
April 13th, 2008 by Gill SlayerA friend of my bro’s fished Reelfoot this past weekend (4/12-4/13) . Saturday was tough (and cold) he said, only caught 5-10 keeper crappie with only a few keeper gills. All were good size tho, especially the gills. Today he tore em’ up…he caught 25 keeper crappie, several over 15 inches. He also caught 35 keeper gills…and BIG ones too! He was fishing in about 4-5 foot of water using a Sains bluegill jig tipped with a wax worm. Can’t wait to get down there…we should get the tail end of the crappie & the start of the monster gills!
out, bluegill or crappie…that is until my brother got me hooked on Pflueger® President® spinning reels. I now own several different sizes of this series, but I use the 6720 on both my ultralight rods & my B’n'M long poles. I can’t say enough good things about this series of spinning reels, they are all I buy anymore no matter which size. This particular model runs $50 which is probably $30 more expensive than other micro reels, but they are worth the extra money. My brother prefers the size up from this one, but I like the 6720 because it’s lighter. Ask any of the guys/gals who work at Bass Pro in the reels section and they will tell you that they are their #1 seller. Trust me, buy yourself one (or two or three) and you will not be disappointed!
