It was COLD in the water, as a couple of days we had snow. Too cold for my wet suit, so I used my chest waders. Even still, there was a cold wind. I hunted a lake which I pounded many times last year using the Infinium with the 8" coil. This new 10 x 14 mono seems to get a little more depth, as I was pulling some real deep targets with it. No rings today, but I did get some modern coins and a silver 1910 quarter, which had been in the water for a very long time.
