I think that problem is solved now.. I changed the reel so I will be seeing if the gears in it will hold up now.. I should be posting at least a couple of lunker smallmouths tomorrow if the fish will bite that is. I am heading right back to the same location in the early am.. I am taking frogs and a couple of bigger rapalas. I wished I had tied up a few more of those red and white streamers. Then I would be taking the flyrod with me as well. I still may though because that is the way to troll for a fish.. Also no choice but to play them out..
