  1. I can understand why early morning and late evenings is the best time to fish in the summer, but I hear 2 different things about spring. Some say it doesn't change and some say the middle of the day is warmer for those cold spring water which makes it better for fishing. What's are other's opinion on this?
  2. I'm trying to find this specific color with the rattling version. Does anyone know if it comes only in silent?
  3. Does your camera not overheat when your charging it to your external battery?
  4. For those of you that use a gopro when you go fishing, how do you keep it alive for a days worth of fishing? I just got mine yesterday and it died in an hour and ten minutes. Do you bring a bunch of spare battery or have it charging while hooked up on a powerbank? Any tip is appreciated.
  5. I see that 12 lb flouoro is popular for a football jig, while 15 lb flouoro is popular for a carolina rig mainline. So with that, why do people recommend throwing them on the same rod?
  6. An example is the dobyns 705 cb glass is rated as fast action while a shimano expride glass is rated has moderate even though both is made of out of the same material
  7. I see some glass rods are fast, mod fast, or mod. What's the difference when the material is still glass anyways?
  8. Why do Dobyn fans prefer longer rods? I see people are always recommending the longer version of the rod over the 7 ft model for practically everything regardless of technique
  9. Can anyone explain why braid isn't sensitive on slack line when it has no stretch at all?
  10. What are the advantage and disadvantage of braid with mono leader vs mono?
  11. For 1/2 walking baits, 20lb or 30lb braid? Cover is very minimal.
  12. Whats the ideal length for a jig rod excluding football jgs.
  13. I was kinda exaggerating 10 yards but it was a little more then that. I was throwing it on a curado dc but the rod barely loads a 1/8 so it's less of the reel and more of a little too heavy of a blank for the application.
  14. Wow catt, I never thought of it that way but you are right. Guess confidence plays a role in sensitivity then?
  15. Last post for the night haha, im getting all my gear last minute as the ice is starting to clear. Would a 7 feet rod be more or less sensitive then a 7'3? Im referring to kistler rods if that matters.
  16. Would you guys recommend a Medium or LMH for throwing strictly 1/8-1/4 texas rig in the z bone lineup or maybe helium? I tried throwing a 1/8 today on a MH and you couldn't cast more then 10 yards or feel the bottom at all. Cover is very sparse to none
  17. thanks for the video, it was really helpful how often do we oil it?
  18. does anyone know what action is the 6'10 medium expride (EX1610ma)? Its listed as mod fast on shimanos website but fast in a few other sites including tacklewarehouse
  19. I just got a few curado k and it came with these drops. How often are we supposed to use the oil and where do you drop them?
  20. If yall were a fish, what lure would you eat?
  21. Are there any rods that have these exact same specs? Wouldn't mine one with a couple less inch but this is the ideal rod im looking for and its sold out everywhere
  22. I know its way too early to ask about frog fishing, but I'm getting my gear ready early on. I have a daiwa tatula 100 but I'm afraid the gears will pop out since I throw 50 lb braid and swing for the moon on hooksets. Any recommendation on a frog reel?
  23. Kinda wanna give these a try, any thoughts on these?
