Title: A few with the 714
Post by: wfjord on May 03, 2020, 02:57:10 AM
Looking for stuff to do while social distancing, so I was going through the images on my camera and found these from earlier last year.  That day was an outing on which I used a 714 Spinfisher and an '80s Bantam Mag 1000SG baitcaster.  I didn't keep any of the schoolie stripers or hybrids, but I did cook up the three biggest bass.

Thanks, all.

Bennie, looking at the photo, I believe that reel had 8# blue Ande Backcountry on it. It's pretty good mono.  I keep 14# original fused Fireline (smoke color) on a couple others and 20# PowerPro on another.  Overall, I like the way the Fireline handles best on those little reels.

EDIT:
Correction: Upon closer observation it looks like I had two 714's there. The reel in the 1st and 3rd photos has the blue 8# Backcountry. The one in the 2nd pic is lined up with 14# Fireline.
