LM-v-Drum

[Aries 181]

I am wondering if a drum pulls as hard as a LM. The two times out using my new Cashion cranking sticks on the river below the dam, all I've caught throwing an XR50 is a few big drum in the 10-12 lb range. Can I expect the same from a LM of that size or will the LM pull harder?

Thanks,
Bill

The only freshwater drum i have caught were bream fishing in lite tackle and they were small drum so i cant say. now if you were asking about red drum on the gulf coast.....those pull hard way harder than bass i have caught those over 20 pounds lots of times.

Drum always feel great at the beginning and then they die out pretty quick. I had one break my line and just lay there in the water as I unhooked my crank bait and got it back. If you are into Drum, Ole Drumking can help you find them below chick dam with some hair jigs!

Agree, feel good for a minute then die.
