We came to the exact same conclusion on the wire issue. Dropped it for big fluoro.

Haven’t been here in a while and hope you are all well.
This has to be the first Pike that I have ever seen and thats quiet the big boy there, nice to see that you boys didn’t forget the beer on the trip.

I knew there had to be other Genny appreciators out there. Just avoid the ones with the green label.

MG, yes on both counts. Getting the Homer Rhode tight is impossible without using pliers.

I’ve got some 30lb flouro, although I’m always tentative with the knots – may have to try. You’re using the HR loop knot up front, and an Albright to the leader?
