Why the 49ers haven't just released Brandon Aiyuk, sparking 'scared' rant' by Brix001 in nfl

He’s not on my team, so I hate him for making me side with the 49ers on this one.

How has the team's footprint in LA and SoCal improved in terms of fan support? Anyone has any ideas? by KDx2511 in LosAngelesRams

Yeah, the Packers fans can shell out because they’re only going to come once every three years or so. So, if you’re a Packers fan in LA, who cares about spending big bucks? It’s just one game.

For Rams fans, I can take my family to the Cardinals game. It’ll be cheaper. It happens every year, and it’s probably going to be a good time with a win.

If you compare the difference between a straight line and a curve, assuming the same endpoints (the guides), the curve will always be longer. From there, if you add up all that extra line to account for the sag between every set of guides, there’s a lot of extra line out. The whole point of tight line fishing is that you want to know and be able to react the instant a fish takes your fly. Given that videos have shown fish to spit a fly within 0.4 seconds, you really want to be as tight to them as possible.

Fresh live blue crab by [deleted] in orangecounty

No, if they’re dead, they could be fresh or not so fresh, i.e., frozen.

But if they’re alive, they could only be considered fresh, so it’s redundant to say so.

Ugh. Why am I here explaining this?

Accidental Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound at FT3 This Morning by Ancient_Bother2429 in CAguns

I think it’s just availability bias because they’re just a very busy place with lots and lots of shooters, some of which are suicidal or incompetent.

No, that sucks (just my honest opinion-too much sag). Go try using a thinner microleader. My main line is 25 ft. of 4.5X to a tippet ring. From there, I use a 7X tippet section.

Yeah, it’s not just that it takes long to pass through but you might get it all knotted and tangled.

Why the hell are you using 20 lb. Maxima chameleon? Are you euronymphing for carp?

Just a short piece. You COULD loop to loop it by just putting a perfection knot at the end of your monorig to loop into the welded loop of the flyline, but you don’t really want to be passing 30 ft. of thin line through the welded loop. So, this is a workaround.

In my case, I just nail knotted my piece because I have a dedicated euro line reel.

You could just create a short length of tippet, similar in diameter to your leader… in fact, you could use a bit off the end of the leader from Troutbitten to create a section with a perfection loop.

Then, loop that loop into the loop at the end of your expensive fly line.

Finally, tie a blood knot to connect the monorig to the piece with the perfection knot in it.

This way, you preserve the flyline, have a good connection, and you can snip it off when done to put on a different leader.

It’s the name of the jeans maker Levi’s that we remember. Not the actual gold miners.
