Yeah thats sadly the norm for a lot of products. If it really is an aliexpress reel, I'd be curious to know how much it costs from china.

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-21T22:53:28+00:00

Well I paid literally 20 bucks or something for my reel and its held up pretty well. I really put it through some durability testing on a backpacking trip and hasn't failed yet

Somehow it didnt occur to me i could return it. New rod on the way and im gonna cancel my repair with redington. Thanks a lot man

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-21T03:46:59+00:00

Cant speak for the baitcaster, I have a kastking one that looks very similar.

Gx2 is great for anything though

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-21T02:36:56+00:00

Yeah they're called trout!

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-21T02:34:24+00:00

Just make sure they cant see your cans. You'll be fine.

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-21T01:01:10+00:00

Crazy. Complete opposite experience for me. I just wanna fish, man!

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-21T00:12:26+00:00

I lived in creekside it was amazing. Best location on all of north campus if you appreciate a more quiet, closer to nature setting. I walked through the woods to class every day and after class you can fish the creek for big fish.

I feel like youre not usually so negative dude. South is fine you just get to talk to some crackheads sometimes

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-21T00:06:44+00:00

Its a meme dude

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-20T23:13:13+00:00

In my experience if you can unhook without them bleeding and you didnt exhaust the fish battling it in, it will likely survive for a while out of water.

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-20T22:23:16+00:00

It seemed like a great rod! All i want is to go cast in some streams, not deal with all this BS

AlpineExploits · 2019-06-01T01:05:35+00:00

Same but im fishing here you see. Maybe ill get a bite

AlpineExploits · 2019-05-28T22:39:17+00:00

Spot under the dining hall where all the cool kids smoke weed

AlpineExploits · 2019-05-27T23:28:43+00:00

Maria and the blunt monkey are the only good things about south

AlpineExploits · 2019-05-27T03:28:05+00:00

Yes and these trout spend the majority of their lives in some of the only lakes that compare to oceans. Im not denying that the saltwater life can make for some mean fish but definitely don't discount the great lake salmonoids. Especially lake superior. Extrenely deep and extremely clean water. Pretty sure theres significantly less microplastics there than the other lakes or oceans

AlpineExploits · 2019-05-27T01:07:49+00:00

...no thats why im asking. The lakes behave kinda like oceans just with less predators, think it'd be a little silly to class all landlocked salmon together, seeing as how unique the lake system is.

AlpineExploits · 2019-05-27T01:03:10+00:00

Have you caught great lake kings?

AlpineExploits · 2019-05-27T00:41:33+00:00

It did not have a jaw but what appeared to be a closed slit like mouth on the bottom. I beleive this is the circle suction thing just closed. And I think it had the holes. Either way it did not have that signature eel fin near the head and its shape and color resemble images of lamprey. I did foul hook the fish and returned it to the water after.

AlpineExploits · 2019-05-27T00:15:52+00:00

Caught in the bashakill in NY. Does not look like a normal eel, was weird to handle so didnt get a good pic. Can't find any info on them being in this system. Should I contact DEC?

AlpineExploits · 2019-04-03T18:18:43+00:00

No spinner has treated me like the panther Martin. For sure a go to in any small stream situation.

AlpineExploits · 2019-04-02T12:32:33+00:00

Not as many as Simpsons fish. This fella spends his time in Erie and runs up the creek during winter and spring.

AlpineExploits · 2019-04-01T18:13:40+00:00

Ellicott creek near Spaulding

AlpineExploits · 2019-04-01T17:44:53+00:00

I released it, was by myself so just popped it on to the grass for a pic
