Idaho's Ken Wick, who's in his 3rd year on the FLW Tour, logged his first Top-10 finish recently at the Potomac River. All of his fish came from a single creek that featured channel swings and laydowns, and he flipped up each of them with a 3/8-ounce jig.
That jig was tied to about 8 feet of 16-pound Gamma Edge fluorocarbon line. The Edge, in turn, was attached to 65-pound braid backing.
"In the cover I was flipping, that line played a huge role," he said. "I could pop those fish hard in that heavy timber because I knew it wasn't going to break.
"That stuff is the best fluorocarbon I've ever used."
