I'm constantly amazed at the number of different kinds of fish I've brought to hand on a properly fished jig.
That reel... the Shimano CI4+ is the shizz! I have two 2500's and two FK 2500's that I use for just about everything smaller than a chinook. They're spendy, but smooth as silk, light weight and have great drags.

I ran across a new (to me) knot the other day for slicing braid to a mono bumper or leader.
It's called the John Collins knot and is super easy to tie. Uses less material and the knots are very tiny.
Google it and check out a video, if interested.....
