Got out today before my last final for school. Got up around 5 45. We got there at 6ish. 1st cast with a 5inch senko and I hook up with a 2lber. The pic didnt come up that good. After that I didnt get a fish for a while. I was fishing next to my friend nick when I hook up with another on a senko. Bass jumps and spits the hook. Next cast in the same spot I get another one and i bring him in. I go next to the dam with my swimbait and took about 3 cast. On the 3rd cast I was cranking my swimbait down. I got to the dam wall where I was going to pick up and make another cast when I saw a bass come up behind my swimbait. I let him take it down. It was my 1st fish on this swimbait and he was like a 1 1/2lb. Now that is a small fish takeing down a 7inch bait but w/e ill take it.

Yes I am. I thought I was taking the cheap way out on a swimbait reel. Buts a work horse reel. They are worth the money

definetly, i have used some of the larger ones, 6500's and such for muskie and pike, great working reel.
 
Nice fish! I killed them this weekend, pics up later.
