I still havent gotten to go to the pond witht he biguns in it yet but i want to try out some mag 11 zooms and see how they compare but i sure did love those bass assassins. On a good note i caught 4 small ones but busted a nice 4+ fish off because of old mono (clear pond) on the old zoom fluke and one more on a popper and missed one aon a 6 inch culprit. just gotta go to the big fish pond now and try them out.
