Drum

So i posted on here about a month ago and havent been able to get back on FWE because my computer decided it hated FWE and not let me on......i talked about a 40+ lb drum i caught on my trip to rockport a while back....NOW i can post the picture, its the biggest fish ive ever caught as far as light tackle. 6'9 American Rodsmiths troutmaster lite, Curado 200 E7, 10lb trilene, and a TTF Killer flats minnow caught this beast. I know i look like i just sucked down 4 gallons of caffein but i was really exited i landed this drum.

Man Micheal how long was the fight!How long was ole blackie!

I didn't get his length but his weight was well over 40+ lbs. I was watching him tail in the canal a good distance out, threw the ttf right in front of him, twitched it once and the fight was on. It was a good 15 minute fight and a whole lot of me loosening and tightening my drag. Got my pictures and let him live to fight another day.

great rods

[RedfishAssassin]

I've used mine from everything from huge spooks and skitterwalks to small soft plastics. I've dropped it and just beat the crap out of it, had it 3 years and still use it to this day as my main rod. That with the 200E7 is a deadly set up!
