Kazak_Hstan posted:I saw an uglystik with a nice matte finish in dark gray. What is the point of that, it was not ugly in the slightest it was actually pretty nice lookin. 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.

extra stout posted:they still look the same, i think it's just where the carbon fiber hollow part becomes some weird super-bendy plastic which supposedly helps you feel the action on the hook more quickly without costing you any strength I'm using one that's 30 years old. My dad paid 25 bucks for it and it has yet to lose even a single eyelet. Ugly stick + Shimano quick fire reel + 8 lb test Fireline= Indestructible Rig

Fireline is a braid. I generally only have to respool every 3 years or so. And catches pike, muskie, steelhead with no leader.

I've got some info on a disused golf course (eat the rich) across the river from a state park. The water hazards were stocked to keep mosquitos in check. I'll be breaking the law later this week...

Now that i think about it, i saw another pike recipe that skipped the boiling all together. Pan fry cubed pike with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, browning on each side. gently caress butter

stealie72 posted:A wise person told me a while ago that better gear won't necessarily catch more fish, but it will make the experience more pleasant. Totally agree. Go cheap initially, and once you have a feel for it, decide where to invest, if at all. Presentation (what lure, and how you retrieve it) will catch fish regardless of price.

VendaGoat posted:let me attempt to translate. The advice simply said that the tools of higher quality were more comfort, not more effective. Also, we're not discussing lures, but rods and reels. In the parlance, lures are referred to as Terminal Tackle. Any experienced angler, since we're using that antiquated term, knows that there are variables introduced by each piece of equipment that affects all the others, so blaming the lure is, prima face, an argument that only reveals the inexperience of the plaintiff. You mentioned earlier that you were not well versed in the habits of anglers, but it appears you're doing some research. What's your particular hobby?

VendaGoat posted:You're telling me that an experienced angular would not first research where he/she is going and compensate for their tackle box, in regards to the environment they are going to be fishing in? I think we're arguing to different points. You're discussing lures, while we were discussing the equipment used to present the lure (rod, reel, etc.). Your points on lure selection are correct: geography is absolutely a factor to consider. What works where i fish might be useless, from a terminal tackle perspective, than what works somewhere else, but the delivery system (rod, reel. Etc. ) relies more on technique preferred, rather than fish species sought. Hopefully, this clears up any confusion for you in regards to lures versus rods et. al. I can elaborate further if you'd like, but the finer points might prove boring for someone who has no interest in actually fishing. What draws you to photography?

Fishing report: Early afternoon was 5 smallmouth ranging from 1 to 4 lbs, pond, muddy water, red 1/4 oz. Strike King spinner with Colorado blade Evening was different pond, clear water, 2 largemouth, one on a spinner that has never produced, crayfish colored, which i promptly lost after a 4 lb catch, and a 2 lb. Caught on a rattling top water rebel frog, hard body, not the kind thrown into pads. A good day.

Beetlespin for panfish are a good artificial lure, cheap and they give you 3 rubber replacements in the box! The spinner part lasts forever, and you can reuse it with different plastics.

extra stout posted:aside from the mouth which also ends a bit closer to the eye, largemouth get bigger, are generally more common in most areas w/ bass, and the quickest way to identify them is to just learn the different patterns on their scales Also, in my experience, largemouth are less finicky about lure selection, but both are fun to catch
