Last week the virus took my fishing bud of 20 years. I really needed to see troy's post and all the replies.

Thanks to all

A friend is a Saltwater Aquarium expert. Says the Mantis can crack a 1/2 in aquarium glass..

Heddon made the River Runt in several colors and variations. They also made the Little Runt, usually white with a little spinner blade on the end.
I have several of both, still use them once in awhile.

I'm in Willingboro, near the Rancocas river. Would like to hear from other folks from SJ

I've been fishing since I was a kid. I've fished the East from the Belgrades in Maine to the St George Island in Florida.
I have mainly centered on South Jersey and Pa. Life restricted me for the last ten years, but I'm back at it again.
I'm no stranger to streams but I prefer big water. Hoping to have a few pics of catches soon.

I'm a Fenwick and St. Croix fan.

I have a 4.5 model 140 Fenwick [Fen Flea] with an Alcedo micron loaded with 6lb. I keep it behind my truck seat. I landed an 11lb bass with it. 6.5 will do fine.

I own 2 St Croix rods, I have others but the SC's are my go to rods.
