  1. im not sure. im thinking medium action. its not ultra light but itsnt that big
  2. so basically the purpose of a heavier pole is to be able to set the hook better and easier?
  3. ive been hearing that you need a certain rod and reel to properly fish jigs. is that just for flippin and pitchin or all jigs? i have basic spinning reel and about a 6' rod
  4. http://cgi.ebay.com/WHOLESALE-LOT-TWO-CYGNUS-2500-B-DAIWA-FISHING-REELS_W0QQitemZ270100463083QQcategoryZ36147QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270100463083 I recently received a rod and reel combo of a cygnus 2500b spinning reel with about a 10 foot rod on it(longer than a bass rod). would this pole be used for freshwater or saltwater because it seems too long for bass fishing. It was bought at dicks sporting goods.
  5. is flippin and pitchin the way you have to fish jigs? or can you just fish them slowly with a spinning reel? and what types of cover are best?
  6. Hey guys I have a few questions on the type of tackle needed for using jigs and flippin and pitchin. I was reading one of the articles and it said that a flippin rod was recommeneded for this. Also they said they used baitcast reels. Is it possible to flip and pitch and fish jigs with a spinning reel?
  7. Does anyone have bassmaster magazine or know anything about it? I ordered ebassin but i never received it so i guess they took my money but was thinking about bass master. is it any good?
  8. Hey guys does anyone know of a simile for fishing. Im writing a persuasive essay on why fishing is not boring. Please help

    which type are they talking about in this article? http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/jig_uses.html

    Which type of jigs are articles on this site referring to? Ill post a link to the types. http://www.tourneyjigs.com/images/black-black-blue-pitching-jigs.jpg or http://www.sites.onlinemac.com/rhino/images/3_sizes_jigs.JPG the second ones not really a good picture. So basically which one should I reffer to when I hear "jig"
  11. this happens some to me when bank fishing.There are logs but obviously you cant pull lures through them so you have to over them or through lots of brush. Then the hook slides off and the hook is free. At least I think.
  12. here on the new river in jacksonville it seems the bass never bite. I wana know when the best time will be or start to be.
  13. Im here in eastern north carolina and wondering when the pre spawn or spawn should start occuring. Im pretty new at the spawn and everything but Im ready to catch some fish after a tough winter. Thanks.
  14. what baits do you usually use with each of them
  15. I want to really start bass fishing over other types of fishing and I want to know if I should get a baitcast reel. There the ones that are mainly for bass fishing right? and what are the benefits of those vs spinning reels.
  16. yea very funny phatfish and the 2nd link doesnt show me anything either
  17. Does anyone know how much small jon boats sell for? Im looking for basically the cheapest kind there is since it will mostly be me and maybe one other person fishing in it. Also can you attach trolling motors to them? I live in Eastern North Carolina so if anyone from there could tell me a place that sells them near Jacksonville I would appreciate it.
  18. I saw them too. I really want them too but are a little too much for me. Id pay about 100 for them.
  19. haha. was that a snake that came out of that tree?
  20. Yea, changing to a new place would be a good idea.
  21. Rapala Pro Fishing looks like a good game. You can fish bass, pike, walleye, salmon, catfish, muskie, trout and some more. Link below. http://pc.ign.com/objects/699/699483.html
  22. Can you throw regular lures out with a fly rod? I thought I heard that the lure cant be too heavy. And Im just wondering, how do you reel in a fly rod. I see on TV they pull the line but there is a reel on it.
  23. I dont but I want to learn how to fly fish. How long did it take you to learn how to fly fish and do you catch much on it?
