On backorder there as well

Long shot but anyone know of a reputable online dealer that has the 7’ medium original st croix avid spinning rod in stock? I can’t find it anywhere

Improved clinch for that size mono. 5 turns

We’ve only had her for a few days. Guess I got lucky with my other pups they caught on quick when they were young

How have I accidentally trained her to poop in the house

Have had three other dogs in my life and never encountered this issue. 18 week old female sato mix puppy. She will pee outside but only poops inside when we’re not looking. She’s taken out on a leash in the backyard and we’ve tried staying out there for 15 minutes at a time return inside then immediately take her back out and nothing. 10-15 mins later we find poop in the house. Any help?

Tip for cinching…cinch down by pulling leader line and mainline and if it’s not cinching all the way grab the tag end end and mainline of leader and pull them apart. It will help draw the braid wraps down. Do it slowly then finally finish the knot by pulling on the mainline and leader line. Hope that helps

I snug it. Leaving it loose makes the knot harder to cinch up

I pull both main and tag end to Cinch the knot and then just pull the mainline before cutting the tag end. This video is exactly how I do it

It’s now an overpopulated overpriced place with declining fisheries both fresh and salt. Enjoy wish I was going. Used to love Long island until it became an overpopulated overpriced crappy fishing

6th sense are the best for bobber stoppers for pegging. I only peg when I’m flipping heavy cover or punching. Too many people wanna peg all the time when In reality you’ll catch more fish unpegged

Yup compare straight black with green pumpkin and you’ll see a big difference in softness. The black is more “rubbery” which IMO lasts longer. Watermelon black flake and bubblegum also have the same feel to it as straight black

Ned rig

That looks like a good hook and should solve the OP problem. I use the vmc wide gaps size 3/0 for 5” senko. They run a tad bigger than a gamakatsu.The bend below the eye is a bit more turned up than a standard gamakatsu eWG which helps prevent the senko from sliding down

3-4’ for me. Anywhere from 8-15lb mono. I don’t use fluoro.

Daiwa actually designs spinning reels to have more line towards the top of the spool.

Just go fish and have fun. It’s fine

Looks good to me. I would bother with a shim. Like lay looks fine to me. Does it really matter?

Maybe with spinnerbaits but I’ve caught stripers to 47lbs and bluefish into the teens using those clips in the surf and never lost a lure or fish due to the clip. But for bass fishing, a simple palomar or improved clinch knot is all you need

I hate kayaks. Give me waders or a boat

Should be fine. I use 15 for all spinning applications

I fish braid but have used 12-15lb mono too

What he said. It has the perfect tip for ripping a trap through grass or fishing a square bill around cover

The bass fishing has improved in there. Not nearly as bad as it was before the walleye stocking. Late 90s early 2000s was the worst fishing I’ve ever seen in that lake…..I mainly surf fish stripers but still do the bass thing once a week

I don’t do the walleye thing I get them accidentally fishing for bass. Some biggies in there at the right time and place.
