Jim, if you see this in time please get me 4 S51MR Mirrolures in the color Prism Shiner. Academy doesn't stock them and they will be worth having this spring for the big trout. Also, since we couldn't fish Friday and I took off work I spent a couple hours working on my knots. I was practicing joining power pro to 80lb mono leader. The only power pro I had was the 30# on my trout reels. The power pro was breaking right at the surgeons loop at around 20lb pressure. The power pro was basically cutting itself. I can get the joining knot you taught me to seat just fine as long as I limit the wraps to around 7 or 8 but it is not breaking at the join only at the surgeons loop. I wonder how much strength we are getting using the 90lb power pro and if this is the limiting factor?

Mike, this is the knot I used to tie the PP and mono together when the big dolphin broke the line. Ya'll didn't miss anything Friday.

Agreed, learn the Red Phillips knot. It is the one.

Mike,
I will see if they have those lures and get you some. Yea, the surgeons always worries me. To be honest with you i have completely gotten away from PP. The JB seems to be holding up though. I am looking at using the Red knot though.

Will be back in town Sunday.
Check the weather!!!!
