New backing

Loaded this monofilament onto my new spinning reel. Using as backing for my new braid. Can’t wait to try opening day of trout in PA.

Thank you

Bass Leader Setup

I fish lots of smaller streams for smallmouth. I build my own leaders with 4 or 5 foot of 20lb down to swivel then add 1 ft of 14lb. Works amazingly well for me.

Tarpon leaders

Went on MRO/Flip Pallot's reccomendation to use it for Tarpon leader (less the shock tippet where I use fluoro) and I liked it a lot. Easy to tie.
