yeah i put ner everything new on it this year.... but its time for somthing new!

i have alil lake that i fish in NE kent county that is full of pike.. me and a buddy got 21 in 2 hours last year using this rig... i will be sending u a om here shorty btw

yeah i talked to someone else on a different forum and he said he runs a 25lb leader so that is what i went with.....for now see how it works... from the way this year has been with rain it looks like its gonna be a long winter! so i am excited about that.. so we will try and see how these new rigs work for me

so here is what i want to do and i will run it past you guys and see what u think... I HATE STEEL LEADERS! btw and use a 30lb braid on my tip ups... but i add some things to my hooks that really help produce more fish like a rattle and a glo bead and spinner bait blade..... but here is a my question.... fluorocarbon..... i was thinking about trying this stuff as a leader.... but heavy like 50lb.... any suggestions? i would be "pre rigging" and wrapping my rigs up on a noodle for swimming to make it easier to get to and put away.... can i use fluorocarbon that heavy and still be invisible and still tough enough for pike? would it be safe using like 25lb test... or even 20lb test... here is a pic of the "rig" i use rigged with the 25lb fluoro carbon the rattle hangs over the baitfish and i have about 1/2 inch above the glo bead the blade with 1/8th of an ince of space so the blade can flutter.... this was the ticket last year i use different color blades and i also use a green rattle i hope this helps anyone who might want to try it

i belive it it... its a point blank the new wave.... I WILL BE GETTING A NEW ONE AT TAX TIME! lol

thank you everyone for the congrats.... yeah i am taken the wife out on sunday and see if she can't get her 1st bow kill.. so i will hopefully update with more pics then ty again guys

you know it really wasn;t it felt more like business... like " ok here he comes stand.. witch way is he gonna go... ok he is behind the 20 tree draw when he gets to the tree.... ou hold... look through peep..... shoulder.... release..... DROP! lol thats kinda how it went down

at 8:03 this morning i shot my 1st ever buck! here are the pics not the greatest shot but i dropped him in his tracks and shot anther arrow into the boiler room hope u enjoy

thanks for the advise.... i have too hook up with some other because i don't have a sled or quad so anyway i can't wait
