extra stout posted:Which rod and reel did you get? What line did you put on it? What are you planning to catch? I'll be finally renewing my license tomorrow, just tied a barrel knot on a jig to the 6 pound line on my ugly stick I just got some cheap Lews open reel with the understanding that I'll probably replace it within the year. Crappy 8 lb test line.

Crappy 8 lb test line. sounds like it should work, are you just looking for sunfish to eat? or bass to take pictures of? sometimes i wish i had run 8 pound instead of 6 on this, the only time the 6 snaps is when i (used to happen a lot now im 2 pro) hit a tough weed bed, or the one time i tried to swing in a bullhead (still landed him) but in general i think feeling less nervous when i catch big fish would probably be worth losing 20 percent of the excitement of the fight that a black crappie gives on 6 pound test extra stout fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Jun 19, 2016 |

Just fishing some smaller lakes around the Midwest for now. the midwest is a big generalization but from all the youtube videos i watch of other people fishing when im not fishing, you should have some strangely big bluegill compared to ours on the east coast here. if anyone here knows Neil of Grass Tyson i'd be interested in knowing why this is true Fat Jesus posted:i caught a kingfish once. he was fat but didn't wear a crown

Oh I did a tuna on a huge line and the deck hands did all the work! Me amazing! i was actually about to post 'so how much did you pay the captain of the tourist boat for permission to hold his steel framed fish catcher?' so please don't take back your post or apologize while saltwater fishing obviously offers insane, impressing, even deadly opportunities, 90 percent of saltwater fisherman are facebook picture takers with 3000 dollars invested to catch about 3 fish a year before the robo-reeler takes over and pulls it in for them. much like woodworking or nearly any craft, those who now define it in the eyes of the general public are entirely removed from the nature of a once great ancient craft.

I may not be a big trout fan but can we all agree that US fishing rules and lol at those loving idiots in England who sit next to a poo poo filled canal with balls of bread and a net that's like 30 feet long just so they can catch one of 15 variations of "carp-like fish with silver scales"

Saltwater fishing's one advantage is that it's much more conducive to body disposal.

The early versions of the rod had a clear tip, which was unlike other rods of the time, to highlight how resilient the top section was.
