DVL on fire! 4/2/15

[OG MUDBONE]

Weather was cloudy and windy throughout the morning which normally makes for some good fishing at Dvl but just wasn't happening for us. Sun broke and it started to pick up, found them pretty good in the backs of coves off shallow structure and stick ups. Mainly concentrated on the north side of the lake, the rental boats are so slooow you spend more time driving from spot to spot than fishing haha. Found some nicer grade bass a lot of fun on the light stuff! 6lb fluro and plastics watermelon/red and purple has been doing really well. Picked up the last Clarus from TW on sale for $50 as a backup rod and got to put it to the test and it actually handled much better than expected :Envious:

Thanks for the great report. I also picked up the same clarus rod at TW and hope to use it out there. Good to know it held up well im dying to try it out myself. It seems a little heavier than the crucial that i been using.

Yeah I have the 7'2" mxf Crucial and the Clarus is slightly heavier and a tad bit less sensitive, but for $50 and with the warranty cant complain at all. I own all Daiwa reels but I'm partial to Shimano rods, I love the reel seats and exposed blank and I prefer the black foam grips over some low quality corks.
