I was using 20# flouro with a clip. Some of the bigger ones nicked up the leader and I had to retie a few times but it held up. Lost a few to violent airborn headshakes, but no bite offs, lol.

And Eddie, I actually did have one inhale the spinner and took it right in the gills. I never really keep anything but this guy was bleedin all over so I kept it. Didn't try to fillet it, just took the head and tail off and de-slimmed it with lemon. Then I cleaned out the innards, seasoned it up and baked it for a bit. First time eating nj pickerel, not bad!! White flakey flesh, and no "swampy" taste..........

It seems from Fairfield downstream is Smallie territory. Look for rocks, boulders, off-current pools, etc.
