My M.O. Is to head to the dock with my 2nd cup of coffee and catch a small bream on my bream buster. Then bait up a larger combo. I rigged the 712/Ugly Stik elite with a #6 octopus circle hook. This way I can catch a bream and leave it sit, or bait it with a bream whenever. I caught a 3 " bream and cast it out and 30 seconds later "bam"!
Good plan!
Best, Fred
That's about the fastest I've seen a repaired reel start hauling fish, nice work!
