I got my first bass on a lure this past Saturday.
It came on a spinnerbait, it was sweet, all I could think of during the 3 second fight was, "please stay on the hook" I had a good hookset this time and I think that made the diference. After that I tried to reploduce what I did to get that one fish but could not get another one.
My experiment with braided line was not so successfull, I made a mess on the reel and I had to stip it from it since I could not cast anymore, the top wraps of line started to dig in to the reel, it was also hard to tie anything to it. I am not sure I will try it again, if anything I may give it another shot with a heavier line, I think the 10lb was to thin I I could not handle it very well.
