Tough day. Lots of fish but ZERO quality. Curly Pond weed was thick but bass don’t use that garbage weed. I did get to try out the new Shimano Mastif 12lb and man is that line impressive. It lays nice on the spoon, ties great knots and casts like a dream and durable. I was throwing a DT8 and ripping it through some grass to trigger a couple of bites. I also tried out the new Mustad Alpha point finesse hook. Rigged up a 5” General on the 3/0 alpha and stuck a few with ease. The hook help up, the point stayed sharp, didn’t bend out and the plastic keeper help the plastic in place for multiple fish.
