Fished Mosses Lake Sunday. The same reef that we have fished for the last 5 weeks. We have caught reds here every time,but  last Saturday  when I needed to. Fished my new Marsh Rat rod that I won.

I heard a few thing about them, but the light was very nice. We made a few drifts across a reef and hooked up each time, 4 reds in the boat. On the last drift ( had to go eat breakfast for Fathers day) a fish

was on, about a 30 minute fight and chase was on. My partener said she was 40 plus, he tryed to net her 3 times. The net was to small, there was a boat  drifting the shore line so we asked if they had a big

net and when I did she went up the boat, broke my line and new rod. The Marsh Rat  rod is very nice, very strong back and good action. I will purchase another one for one of my main light action rods.

That is all about I throw. If any one like to fish that area let me know.

Sorry about the new rod.  I own several have fought some big reds, drum and jacks and so far (knock on wood) the only one I broke was my own fault when I broke the tip off.  Sounds like you like the rod.  I prefer the light rod for soft plastics and some small topwaters and the medium light is my topwater rod.

I stopped by last night and talked to Mr. Reed and he told me he took care of you, which was great to hear. 

Did you get a chance to see some of the new stuff he is working on?  Some of those rods are sweet, so sweet that I decided to have another one built and told him I want it to be unique.  Can't wait to see what he comes up with.
