Losing too many kokes this year!

[dubob]

[#800000][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]I use Ugly Stik, 7', Ultra Lite rods with Abu Garcia [/size][/font][/#800000]
[#800000][size 3][font "Comic Sans MS"]AMBS 5500/6500LC reels with [/font][/size][/#800000][#800000][size 3][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3][font "Comic Sans MS"]12 lb [/font][/size][/#800000]mono line and very seldom lose kokanee. I have fished with others that use special kokanee rods costing $100 to $400 and never lose as many fish as they do. My drags are set so that I can put maximum bend in my rods and not pull free from the offshore light release clips (white colored). Fish will slip the drag about half the time. And when fishing for kokanee, the rod tip is placed IN THE WATER as soon as I remove the rod from the holder. This keeps the line taught when the fish decides to go airborne because the line is completely submerged which keeps the pressure on the fish. Even with poor net handlers, I don't lose very many fish at the boat. YMMV, but I'm very happy with my equipment and tactics. Tight lines y'all. [cool][/font][/size][/#800000]
