A fisher

Can you tie a knot small enough to fit through micro guides and which are better, micro or regular for flipping, pitching, and frogging? Thanks for all the advice!

So if the rod I'll be using doubles as a frog rod, can I put braid on with a FC leader? If so, how long of a leader? Also, micro guides or regular guides for flipping, pitching, and froggin?

Can someone help me about the spawn? What are the stages and when do they happen? I live in SC wher it is normally pretty warm

I would get a med heavy moderate for deep cranking.

When fishing jerkbaits for crappie, do you suspend them?

I have an abu Garcia black max vengeance combo. The rod is 6'9 med heavy . I don't want to use it as a worm and jig rod, sowhat else can I use it for?

Haha!

Hey guys, I'm a shore fisherman from SC. I've already learned a ton!

Do you t rig those? Probably a stupid question but never fished those

How long of a leader do you use?

Go for it

Have a casting HMG, go with medium

Silver hawk or h2o ethos(non micro guide) can't go wrong with either

Is braid good by trees. wood, or stumps?

Is braid good for t rigs and spinnerbaits? And should you always have a fluoro leader?

So do you think braid is better than other lines minus visibility?

The lake I fish is REALLY muddy. I think the visibility is under 4 inches. I don't think visibility with braid will be an issue so is braid just better when you can get away with it. Or braid with a leader? Thanks in advance

Have a black max and It's okaaaay.... But I would go with h2o mettle which is currently on sale for 50

Blown away by all the help, I think I will get an ethos rod and pair it up with either a PQ or if BPS has a different deal on a reel during the classic, I'll get it. Is the team kvd reel a good reel? Or is a pro max better?

Can delete

What about rods? What material do you look for in rods?

Thanks for the help, but just can't buy used, so when I say under 80 I mean retail price under 80. So are graphite framed reels just less durable?

I fish about once every 2 weeks from the shore, but about 3 times a week in the summer. Should I be worried about getting reels with graphite stuff breaking and just getting aluminum reels or not? Also, what is the most sensitive rod you know under 80? Also, I can't buy used .Thanks for all the advice.

Which is the most sensitive?

Read books and articles, if you get a chance to go fishing with someone better than you, take it, you can learn a lot by watching someone else and asking questions. A trick worm is a great bait to start out with and catches me my most pond fish by far
