Small but still fun.. more Helium Bass

[TTCal]

Went out on the CA Delta yesterday and caught some fish on my He70MC teamed with a Conquest 51 and various crank baits. Here are two of the fish I caught:





Also caught this strange looking sunfish cranking a Megabass Griffon Zero crank on my He70MLC and Calcutta 51xt:



Wish I had been using my He70MLC all day for the small, shallow cranks - it's a GREAT rod for this technique. I had a spook-like topwater bait tied on earlier in the day and was slow to retie since I had a shallow crank on my He70MC already.

well done.
how do you like your Megabass Griffon Zero cranks.

lifeofcb,

This is my first time using my Megabass Griffon Zero's a lot. I think the bait would excel in pressure sitations. Trouble is, given its size, you get a lot of dinks with the bait. But using a pole like the He70MLC with this bait makes catching dinks even a lot of fun!

Nice fish SD! Interesting spot on the tail of the second fish. Maybe it wants to be a redfish.

Photography tip: have the subject always face the sun when taking a pic so it sheds light on your subject.

I too am a big fan of the He70MLC. I originally bought it for use as a speckled trout saltwater rod to be forgiving to the trout's easily tearing mouths. I now use it quite a bit for casting 1/4oz and 3/8oz crankbaits and topwaters with light line for fishing for bass in open clear water lakes. I really really like the He70MLC.

Nice fish Chavez!!!

Those reds must be such a kick! How does that one rank in size? average? above average? below average?
