Caught these right after it stopped raining

rained all day and than stopped, so i went to the pond by my house and was able to get lucky with these two nice bass and a bunch of smaller bass.

Caught these two outta the same drain that runs from the main pond into this little one, both were sitting on the side of where the water was running out the drain.

Caught both on 4.5in OSP Do Live crawler rigged weedless on 1/0 worm hook weightless

first one is 2.8lbs and i didn’t weight the 2nd one

first trip with new reel went great

Paired it up with my Aioushi ultralight glass rod, spooled it with Zukibo Feike 0.6 PE and 6lb fluoro leader.

Caught em all on the trout magnet. My first impressions of this reel so far are good. Had zero issues with over spooling even with the brakes all the way down. Wasn’t casting super far but super smooth and accurate, which is all i need for creek and small stream fishing.

The Smallie fought like a tank! it took me two attempts to net her, definitely my biggest fish on a trout magnet. Can’t wait to chase browns with this setup :)

does anybody know where to get knobs like these?

Trying to avoid buying them off here bc Hedgehog studio is a bit pricey with shipping.

This downsized t-rig with the ballhead has been doing great for me in the creek behind my house. Caught a couple others, had some come off and, my buddy got a couple good ones. Great day
