Thanks for the reply Deetz. I sure figured that fish was bigger than that. It looks HUGE. I guess it just proves that pics can be deceiving. It's still a beauty.
I've thought about the Arbor reels. They are nice, but pricey. I run braid on a couple of my jigging reels. I just put a dab of super glue on the arbor and let it dry before I spool it. When are we hitting the lake again? I wanna see perch puke.
