Report:
Headed out to my local spot that has kept me in the bass well recently trying out the braid for the first time ever, amazing i didnt think it would be so different i could feel evert stone and piece of weed amazing so easy to tell the difference between a bite and a snag, hooked one bass but as first time with braid the directness scared the s**t out of me and i didnt manage to set the hook, had my first ever follow i was standing in the water about knee height and was looking to see where the lure was then there was this big black shadow following my lure it was a big bass maybe 6-7 lbs, it was so cool it was moving effortlessly behind the lure :D :shock: 8) , then sadly it swam into my shadow and got spooked before it had a go at my lure :( :( , what a thrill though wow. Even with no hook ups a great day and ai wish i got braid earlier :) :( .
