“When I am
fishing a frog or
flipping matted
vegetation, I
am throwing the
new X-TCB 8
Carrier Braided
Line form P-Line.
It is critical to
be stealthy with
both techniques,
and with P-line’s
new braid, you
can make longer
casts and it is
ultra quiet com-
ing through the
grass.”

keeper while soaking eel.

headlines at Amador, but bass are biting too. For
largemouths to 6 lbs work the surface early and then
switch over to dragging worms.
