In the above post I talk about the swimbait set up I use for my heaviest swimbaits Like the 10" Stocker Trout 12" Castaics and 10 Rago's as well as my custom made heavier lures made by John Hopkins. I was not using the Powell rod on the day I caught my PB with Rod Thigpin.

Rod let me borrow a Loomis swimbait rod and per Rod's suggestion I had spooled my 401 Calcutta with Triple Fish line. The above post is what I always use although I did change to Triple Fish and a borrowed Loomis swimbait rod on the day I caught that 12 lber. I sicerely apologize if that was misleading for any of you.

Peace
