.... That's the sound my drag made today when these bull 'gills took off with my bait

What a blast. It never gets old catching them. They truly are the criminally insane of the underwater world. If they grew beyond five pounds, there wouldn't be anything left in the lake. Here's a couple of them ...

Very nice! Is that the Cabela's Sweet Pea you're using there?

Nice 'gills.. I have been catching the heck out of panfish lately... some spots on the Juniata seem to have hoards of them.

Dam those r some big gills or red ear or hybrids...

Yes. That bait got the attention of some crappie and yellow perch as well.

LOL. At first I thought it was zzzzzz's for sleeping.

Nice 'gills.

Big gills are fun.

BTW, I tried to put my ss700 on a st. croix legend elite 7-0 lf. The reel foot is too short and it doesn't fit.

I did not need another reel for my ultralight, but it may have to go there instead if it fits on an Avid ultralight.

That exact issue is addressed on page 1 of this thread -

Very odd...my SS 700's fit on all my rods, to include St Croix Avids and Premiers and a number of different Daiwa rods.

I also thought that a standard reel foot and seat size had been agreed to by the industry.

Is it a matter of a different type of reel seat...as the Fenwick Elite Techs have? Looks like the Legend Elite might a somewhat similar seat design.
