Thanks! I’ve only been fishing for the last few years and I’m looking forward to learning more from the forum members and reaching new PBs.

Thanks for the clarification. Being new to the forum and still ancious to learn all the techiques that I don’t know, I missed that 😅

Thanks. That’s good advice as I start focusing on bigger game 🎣

I’m looking to move into a stronger reel to move into big baits and bigger LM bass.
Both have strong drags but the Revo is a little lighter.
Any words of wisdom/experience?

Hello All
I’m relatively new to fishing and this forum - all MA freshwater lake bass & pickerel from a Tracker.
Over the last few years, I’ve gone from plastics to jigs and jerkbaits and baitcasters - PB of 5.8lb large mouth and 25 inch pickerel. And I’ve been reading (Murphy, Hannon ...) about big bait fishing and plan to start when our ice goes goes away - though I shouldn’t complain since both of my PBs are thru the ice.
Any big bait or reading suggestions would be welcome & appreciated.
Thanks,
Red

Same here in MA 😡
Been ice fishing for 6 or 7 weeks but it’s warmer now & we’re down to 3 inches of ice ☹️

I’m not sure that I understand what you mean by “using the reel”. Please explain?
The biggest that I’ve caught is 6 lb large mouth - but I’m hoping to catch bigger with big baits this year - once this MA ice is gone ☹️

I have one and really like it but the guides can ice up a little more in cold water fishing - just before the lake ices entirely ☹️
