1/1/09 DVL LMB TT and an Okuma

[BingJr]

Went to DVL Today with a new swimbait and a new rod. Managed 2 LMB's, one 4lb, one 3lb but not what I was really looking for. (Mr Stripey..)

Both LMB's caught on SS TT's. One 8" and one 10". My new swimbait is the 10" 4 section wake bait. What a gorgeous bait in the water. I am truly in love. The new Okuma Swimbait rod handled it masterfully!

Fish not really worth picturing but heres the new gear!

Hopefully Mr Stripey will come out and play again soon.

your bait like you made it??? looks like a TT with a extra section...crazy looks cool

[BingJr]

Its a TT. As you and I have talked before, I couldnt make that on a bet.

Cool, glad to hear you picked up some swim bait fish.

Those Okuma's are bad *** rods, especially considering the price.
I just picked up one more yesterday that I had on ordered, a 7-11 MH to add to the arsenal. Now I'm set with all three swim bait rods in 7-11's a MH, H, and XH.
I fish the tar out of them and really like the action.

The TT's are killer too, haven't caught anything as of yet on the TT's,but the action is awesome and it's just a matter of time.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the weather like?

I put up a post for a split on a pontoon anytime this week and weekend but no takers.

I have a boat reserved for Sat and I'm going there tommorrow to hit the shoreline.

Thanks for the report, I was getting tired of reading the BROWN TROUT REPORT, turned into a bash fest. LOL

Take care all and tight lines.

The Okuma Guide Select swimbait rods are the best swimbait rods made. If you havent tried one yet you are really missing out. There is a new 711 telescopic version just released, got mine the other day from hookeduptackle.com.
