Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

First of all I think I like Rich Rod in AA! Thanks for the post. Just curious, what weight do you use when TRing? I normally start out with a 1/8oz sinker, but will up size to a 1/4oz or 3/8oz depending on he amount of wind. The key is to stay in contact with the bait. Toss it out and let it drop all the way to bottom. When you pick up on the line, you should be able to just feel the bait. Now just be prepared in case a CMU fan decides to post! :-[ Thanks for the help. I guess I need to get some patience and start fishing a lot slower. Why the sad face ? Who knows you may actually become a better angler by following the great advice you got here.

Irrelevant.

Ya think that might mess up the warrenty ?

Please explain.

Or welfare.

Millions or so it seems.

Welcome.

X2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talks cheap , I would only kill to protect my family from dying , anything else does not matter.

An excellent explanation.

Get a lip gripper and a pair of long nose pliers. I've had too many hooks inbedded in my hands over the years and that's what I use.

I do not buy into line spooking fish theory but if it gives you peace of mind , tie a floro leader on.

Sooooooo................you suck at tying knots, and do a poor job of landing fish. Must be the lines fault, and probably the rod, and the reels drag too, but definitely not yours : :-X In all seriousness, learn from your mistakes. It is very frustrating to lose big fish, and very tempting to blame equipment. Personally I don't like YZ line either, but not for the same reasons. I actually found it to be extremely strong.......almost to a fault. When you hit your thumb with a hammer don't blame the hammer. Well I've always used the improved clinch and have never had a problem until switching to this line, but perhaps thats because it's a lighter test than I am used to In other words you think it was equipment failure and not your ability that caused your problem ? The fact is, I have never had issues with my line breaking until I switched to this line recently, and I obviously have been landing my fish the same way, on the same knot and have caught big fish doing so (like the one in my avi at over 6lbs). I've already said it may be the clinch weakening the line due to improper lubrication or whatever. I'm just trying not to lose more fish. Leave my thread if you're just looking to start trouble and not contribute anything, I'm not here to argue with you about stupid stuff, especially when you're obviously just trying to start trouble So you were using 6# test of some other brand, and landing your fish this way? Perhaps you lucked out and the fish in your avvie didn't struggle like a maniac while dangling. No, I believe my last line was 10# mono, but the hybrid is supposed to have a breaking strength of about 12lbs. Sorry but it really is operator error.

Welcome. The interpreter will be along shortly I hope.

Of course he is bettering himself, doesn 't matter if he uses the degree or not. Strickly a matter of opinion. If in his mind his self worth goes up then he should do it.

Are you really bettering yourself getting a degree that you might not use ? I guess only you can answer that for yourself.

Every one has opinions , which is great as long as it stays respectful.
