I asked awhile back about saltwater and freshwater reels,forgot to aks about the rods.Will saltwater ruin my rods.Is washing them off after enough?

I live in southwest Indiana mostly stipper pit fishing down here but as you can see in profile pic they got emm big down here to.

Thank you guys good stuff.Now my wife is really gonna get mad at me cause im gonna be fishing all day,and all vaction lol.Just need to learn how to fish the ocean from the beach and a pier now.

8-13th of march

Caught many bass on a little cleo all chrome spoon

Pflueger baitcasters shimano spinning

I heard that you shouldnt use your freshwater reels in salt water cause it will ruin your reel.Was wondering if i did use my fresh stuff and cleaned it right after fishing salt if they would be ok?Really want to fish but dont want to spend money on salt equipment if i dont have to.Also if anyone knows good fishing spots in the treasure island area please tell me

Going on vactions in the Treasure Island area.Looked on the map and found a couple of lakes in the area.There are Lake Padgett,Lake Fern and Lake Tarpon.Was wondering if anyone knew if these are good lakes and are they fishable from the bank?Also Lake okee. and lake placid are within a few hours,was also wondering if they are fishable from the bank.Hell im in florida just want to be able to say i put my line in Lake okee and placid lol

Do you have non-boater spots?

So bad i've broke down and fished the ohio river from shore.

Might sound odd now ive fished st.Cr. G loomis but my favs have been abu garcia procastor and abu harold ensley oh and most recent abu colonlen.

I have a buddy that has a citica and revo s he siad he would give up the citica before the revo.I myself would go with anything abu.

Mixing can be bad and good mostly bad.Ive done it and came out with some nice unique color patterns by accidnet for sure but turned out to catch fish lol

Gonna focus on cranksbaits.Learned jigs last year, crankbaits are bout the only bass lure i havent learned to fish well yet.

Saw a guy on the basspros show today throwing a jig on spinning gear.Never saw this done.Was wondering if any of you have done it,and your success or failure?BTW it was a small 5/16th jig.

Got some berkley max line over the winter havent had a chance to use it yet.Was wondering if any1 has and what did u think.

Was wondering if anyone has used Berkley iron silk?My buddy gave me a spool cause he didnt like it.But i love it goes on spool well cast great,but he said he read reviews where people say it breaks easy on hook sets.Was aslo wondering if any1 else has heard this?

When 'kevlar' line first hit the street, it did in fact groove the rod guides unless the rings were made of silicon nitride or silicon carbide. Although kevlar triggered a stigma, polyethylene braid is a different animal. I use nothing but PE braid, and I've only seen guide-grooving once, and it was the tiptop guide of an $80 Bionic Blade with non-fuji aluminum oxide inserts. Roger Thank you roger I guess when i made that post should have said they wear 40$ wal-mart rods that the beginer and average fisherman buy,and for people who dont have 100$-300$ to drop on a st.croix.

Name brands were not my first thing i look at when buying rods&reels.Number of bearings five or more if you want it to last rods i always go with graphite rods although you can get away with glass rods when crankbaiting.But number of bearnings and gear ratio are what i look at first when buying baitcasters.So with that being said a reel with five or more bearings for first baitcaster i'd go with a ratio of 6.1 or better.Rod 6'6" MH graphite rod.

Throw that braid out,it wears groves in your eyelets of your rod,Ill never use braid again now i know that!!!!!

The biggest advantage to cranks is the ability to cover water.Cranks can be fished year round and anywhere on the water, open water banging the bank,deep structure etc... I try to use what bass will see in that certain type of water color.The depth of structure and cover will determine which model i fish maybe shallow mid or deep diving.

I got a buddy that can catch fish on spooky shad all day.I made a order for spooky shad and cell mate like but didnt oreder the PB&J,looks nice for spring crankbait.

Domino my two headed dog.Can you see it?

Ive done really good bass fishing at night,even better on full moons,but you have to watch u still can cast shadows at night,your boat as well as yourself will still cast shadows.Spinners large worms jig with rattles my top choices.
