I'm in Levittown. We should fish when the weather gets better.

The original video was posted by a Japanese member of this bass community on G+. I find the action very interesting. I'm not sure if he just attached them together or if they came like that.

Has anyone seen this before? What is it called? Where can I get one? Thanks!

I found out the hard way with Ronkonkoma. The banks are so polluted. As for Forge, I haven't tried it yet. I'm seriously considering a boat (electric), though.

I haven't asked him, but when I borrowed it, it felt like a 1-piece. Pretty good rod, IMO.

You, sir, are a freaking GENIUS! It popped out in one try. I'm so glad I finally decided to ask here. It was driving me nuts!

My dad has an Ardito TR that became a 2-piece rod (lol). I can't twist it nor pull it apart. I don't know how hard my dad pushed the second piece in, but it won't budge. Are there any tricks to separating these? Like using some kind of lubricant or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My dad, who isn't very strong anymore, can't use just brute force to separate them and I thought I could do it but to no avail.

I don't look forward to seeing other people getting hurt either, but it already happened.

He got wrecked instead.

Hahaha. Mercy kill.

I've always thought hooks prevented fish from eating and that there was nothing they can do about it. But after reading this, I remember way back when I had like 3 Koi ponds with Kois the size of my legs. When I hand fed them, and swam with them, they would "suck in" my fingers and toes, but when there was a leaf that accidentally got sucked in, they would blow it out with enough force. I don't know if all fish (except sharks or whales) can do this. But if the Pikes this study used are like Kois, then it makes sense how they're able to get rid of the hook. They probably just keep moving their mouth while sucking in and when they feel there's a loose object inside their mouth that they don't like, they blow it out.

Not sure if this topic belonged here but I found it very interesting and thought I'd share. http://www.saltstrong.com/articles/fishing-lure-left-in-a-fishs-mouth/

No luck for me either. Everyone who were fishing were either on kayak or small boat/dinghy. But I keep reading everywhere it's a very challenging lake with not a lot of fish. I almost bought one of these, just to try that lake again: http://www.sundolphin.com/sportsman/

Any experience in Ronkonkoma? I'm going to check it out tomorrow.

Depends where. I kind of fish spontaneously, never planned.
