I did get out in what turned into a bumpy day yesterday… actually picked up a couple perch on worm harnesses and lost a few decent size somethings that left a scale on the hook. But perch? The point is I picked up couple Berkeley Lightening rods from Grimsby tackle this spring on their recommendation of a good walleye rod that wasn’t as over powering as an Ugly Stik (I have many, was looking for a little more fun).
While putting an inline planer on the lightening rod, it snapped at the tip. Not ever experienced that with an ugly stik.
It was actually a nice rod in terms of feel and performance with the planer board and with fish. But the weight of a Dreamweaver board should not snap the tip of any rod.
Also… a few pockets of cooler water and if you go past 80FOW it drops to 60F at the bottom but water was 68-71F all the way down to 50 FT.
