Sunline Super FC Sniper and Machine Gun Cast

Let's see what FC Sniper is all about. Apparently, it's the #1 line in Japan. I bought 12 lb, and its listed as the same diameter as my current Seaguar InvizX Fluoro @ .285mm diameter.

It's spooled right now on the Chronarch 50Mg, and so far I'm liking it. Feels strong, low stretch, subtle, and very soft. It also casts great and minimum memory. Can't judge completely till I land a fish, so tune in next time!

Finally!

This lake has seen too much pressure. Please practice catch and release.

Decided to change up a bit and downsize baits. I went from throwing the 5 inch Sasuteki Craws, to throwing a 4 inch Dum Dum Hog. Increased weight size to go through the grass and moss better, and tried a darker color. Those changes sure made a difference. Just only my 5th or so cast with the hog, there was a tap, and with a swing of my rod, a fish.


Ten minutes after that, while throwing a smaller Ammonite shad, weightless to swim subsurface, I see a decent 3 1/2 lb bass come out of the grass and slam my lure. I swing and miss! Still haven't got that Ammonite Shad fish. Fished a bit more for nothing.

Tackle List:
Rod: Jackall Poison Heritage "Hyper Approach" HC-68MH
Reel: Shimano Chronarch 50Mg
Lure: Jackall Dum Dum Hog 4"

Catch and Release!
