I was just about to go get the black carbon. Just waitin for some paychecks to come through. Its not cheap to go to OSU and fish with top of the line stuff lol.

I dont think there is any difference in the strain. I think the fact that they have warm water year round to continue their metabolism at such a fast rate is a huge huge advantage that they have over our bass. During the winter the bass pretty much slow down to a craw and go down deep. Obviously in florida they feed year round at a high rate. Same thing as keeping your tank at 80 plus degrees and having to feed your fish multiple times a day compared to once every other day or even once a day at 72 degrees.

The difference of the two strains are that northerns are more aggressive than floridas while having a slower growth rate. While the florida strain tends to be less agressive but has a faster growth rate.

i thought about holding out for the black but the gold just felt so smooth i figured it probably wasn't going to be better by $50 worth

regardless, great brand and it's gonna catch a lot of fish

Well I guess you learn something everyday. Ive never fished in florida before so I never really looked it up. Thanks for correcting me man.

I agree. I have a Shimano Stradic and a Symetre for drop shotting and I can not tell too much of a difference between the two. I was thinking about getting the gold or the pro qualifier or whatever but just decided to go for the black out of no where lol.

Its called a golden. It is actually a hybrid if I am correct. They are usually stocked fish, and you will not see them in the rivers often. They stick out like sore thumbs. I just ran across this thing out of the blue and got him on a 4 weight fly rod and fought him for about 45 minutes. I couldnt believe he took a streamer because they are usually used to pellet. He weighed just over 5lbs. One hell of a fight.I caught him near Mad River Mountain in Ohio. Oh and that mountain is more like a hill. Hahaha Ohio doesnt have anything more than hills

nice catches

Thanks man.
