Found some Fusion Line!!! Must read
I went to the resivoir with NJBassDevil, and while fishing we found a bag of fishing stuff. In there was a crank, some drop lines, bobbers, and a brand new spool of Spiderwire Fusion 12lb test, 8lb diameter. Well, he took everything, and I got the line. Man it is a smooth line. I think I may have found a new superline!

lol, good find, I found a small tackle box in the onf next to a small pond, the funny thing is, this pond was dry a couple months ago, so obviously no fish, however the tackle box was filled to the top with a bunch of soft plastics, 2 rooster tails, a couple bobbers, a spool of 10 lbs vanish (already had 2 spools at the house) some hooks and a couple cheap wally world spinners. It didn't make up for me leaving my tackle box at rodman one night, had about $400 in tackle, was a rather large rolling box, but it was nice to recoup some of that loss. Always love finds like this, but feel bad for the poor chap that left it. Only way I can feel good about it is knowing the stuff will be put to use instead of sitting in somebody garage just melting the plastics. Congrats on the find.

Fusion can't come close in quality to Stealth, Power Pro or Fireline. The coating doesn't last long and no braid should allow break-offs, which Fusion will when pulled through rocks. I'd never use it for spinning reels because it is a flat line versus a round one and tangles more frequently.
I'm surprised it's still on the market, though you may have better sucess. By comparison, it's on the low end of the superlines. SS |

Thanks LR - Been sick for the last two weeks, the air temps have been in the 90's and water temps near 85. Once Irene hits, things should look up and maybe the water won't look like pea soup! It's been slow in the n.e., except for sporadic action. Tidal/ nontidal rivers have been the best producers for quantity but inconsistent quality. How you (and everyone) been doing in your local waters?
The 4" soft stick is still #1, but cranks are taking a fair share in open, deeper water over mild humps (weird). Lost my last Risto Rap on a nice hog, but got another on a Rat L Trap (also weird). Been a weird year. SS |

Sam,
If I'm fishing I'm happy. The bite isn't spectacular, but fish are here and there also. Biggest problem has been the lack of vegetation, and the heat. But hey it's summer, and the temps will soon change, then we'll have at it again. I've been catching them on cranks also, and smaller worms. Of course the lizards always work too. Hope you get to feeling better, and hope that Irene doesn't hit too hard. Lizards
