Title: Microlite 1st & 2nd Catch
Post by: jgp12000 on March 09, 2021, 12:58:57 PM
I loaded the Microlite with 2lb line this a.m. before sunrise and tied on a 1/24 black/chartreuse crappie magnet. Cooked bacon and eggs and proceeded to the dock, I love retirement life !!! Guys I am not a bragger, but I have to share my second catch, was a 6lb LMB on a 60 year old reel. I am drinking a celebratory cold one as we speak. Also, I juiced up the microlite with some Amsoil chain lube,I use it on the  oldest grandsons 4wheeler/dirt bike chains when he's in town, and my chainsaws, it's slick stays waxy doesn't sling off.
