Guys, let me throw this out there. Give me some feedback.
I love using ultra light gear at times, but the last couple of years I havent been able to do so, since I got into 'cattin. I have been throwing around the idea all weekend of doing a little something diff next year. I am thinking of targeting 'catts using the lightest tackle I can. I'm talking using 6lb mono w/ 5'6-6 ft rods. I would be able to do what I love ('cattin) but add a enw twist w/ the light tackle.
Now my Q's to the big catters is that would I be doing what the Muskie guys talk about, & put too much strain on the fish, & lead the fish to death? If so, I will scratch my idea. I figured its be a blast targeting 8-10 lb channels w/ 6 lb test.
Then again, Its just an idea I will probally let it die after this weekend, it sees thats the way my ideas go.
