I am mainly a spinning reel type of guy myself. Grew up with one in hand and dont wanna change that if possible. How will this effect me trying to use the flipping and pitching method? Am I able to do it effectively with a spinning rod? Im new to the method but it seems real fun and like a great challenge..any Incite on this would be great..Thanks guys!

So it doesn't effect fish or cause death...this pond I have in mind has bass which I wouldn't eat anyways But I'd like to know there's fish in the pond before I fish it lol

What does this effect? Is it safe to fish? How does this effect or infect the fish?

thanks a lot for the suggestions guys much appreciated!

Just Got A MH rod/reel combo spinning rod. Rods 6'7...I live in MA so we don't get huge bass and im a little scared to get 30-40lb test( makes me feel like fish might be able to see such thick line?). I was thinking maybe 12-14 lb test hoping fish wouldn't shy away from this thiner line. Also what brand/color would you suggest? I Mostly fish trout where lower pound test is better. New to bass fishing so sorry for the some what newbie questions! lol

appreciate it..gonna be buying new gear all winter long to replace the obsession of actually fishing..i don't like ice fishing so buying lures is next best thing

^ thanks accually took a look at that site last night prices look great from what I can tell so far.. thanks

reaction strike has some great lures ..might try them this upcoming season.

where does everyone buy there lures online or in store? Just wondering if anyone knew of any sites that aren't as common as tackle warehouse..dickssporting goods..ect any incite would be appreciated

strike king is the first company im trying with a series one crank..we'll see how it goes

How you do guys feel about shallow running crankbaits and whats your favorite one/color/design/company/ ect? I love pulling a lure I think this next spring season I might go with them more often.

thanks guys..just watched a few videos on here ...accually were really helpful tips

Anyone know any really good sites for fishing videos? Besides youtube of course...ive pretty much watched every fishing video on there haha..Just came across a site called fishflics.com which isn't too bad.

got a little cleo with great color hoping I can get something with it. If not im going back to the rapalas that gave me so much luck last weekend.

Do you fish them? If so how ? Trolling? casting? Do you tie on directly or use swivels? Just wondering cause I'm going trout/ salmon fishing this weekend and was thinking about trying spoons..
