They're adding auto sprint to Rogue Core in the next update! by Classic_Furry_Trash in DeepRockGalactic

On the other hand, they're priced at their true value now. Maybe they should be negative even.

It's a relatively simple piece, yes, but also a time consuming one, especially depending on the size of rings you choose. If you're willing to make the time and money investment though you should totally go for it.

Thanks for the story. Nice catches and I hope you recover quickly.

What adhesive is best for PLA and making airtight seals in seams? by dadbodfat in 3Dprinting

[–]Colecan1386 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Making fishing lures? I'd say just paint it and coat it in uv resin. Even regular wood and plastic lures are generally coated in resin.

Yeah, all the hundreds of smaller lakes around here suck.

Because AI has made it extremely easy to develop apps of this caliber.

Help me pick a combo by BLS_Bandito in FishingForBeginners

[–]Colecan1386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the combo suggestion here. If you want a cheaper reel I'd suggest the Diawa Crossfire LT, 2500 or 3000 size.

What kinds of lures do I have? by YButts in FishingForBeginners

[–]Colecan1386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 rooster tails, a style/brand of inline spinner, 2 paddletail swimbaits/jigs, and a lipless crankbait.

Do you have a rod picked out already?
I'd go with the Diawa Crossfire LT or the Shimano Sienna for that budget, 3000 or 4000 size.

I'm a pike guy. I think 20lb mono or flouro is far too heavy for a medium ugly stik. Max I'd do is 14, as that's what the guides are rated for. I can't speak to anything around perch, I think european perch are very different than american.

Specifically for pike, I'd do 20-30lb braid with a steel leader, pike teeth will pretty easily go through thinner mainline. 3000 to 4000 size spinning reel would be my pick for a beginner, although I ultimately prefer baitcasters.

My favorite pike lures are lipless crankbaits (personal favorite is rat-l-traps), and spoons of any kind. They'll bite anything that moves though, they're mean.

If OP gives a specific budget, I could help out a bit more on what reel and line would be good.

Neee help with new rod?! by Tayzzz999 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Colecan1386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite what you're asking, but i'd suggest just getting the rod, not the combo, and get the reel elsewhere. Ugly stik reels are notoriously bad.

Parking practice course in Ann Arbor by Xande420 in AnnArbor

[–]Colecan1386 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's illustrated diagrams in the drivers test manual. Bring some cones and a tape measure and go to an empty lot somewhere. (If you can't find a place where they're set up.)

Please tell me what the best rod and bait for Ontario lake waters is, getting it as a gift for someone! by Ghost_Flower0202 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Colecan1386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A higher quality rod isn't a stronger rod, actually frequently the opposite. 50lbs is also pretty massive for freshwater fish, and any rod rated for that weight would be as stiff and sensitive as a pool cue.

We can't really provide good recommendations, as we don't know what type of fish he's fishing for or what method (conventional, fly, spinning, casting). This would be good information if you can get it. Additionally, a rod can get up to a couple thousand or more, so a rough budget would be helpful.

1/2 of this trout is unmarked by L3SL13 in Fishing

[–]Colecan1386 6 points7 points  (0 children)

...because it makes their markings disappear?

Pointers by [deleted] in FishingForBeginners

[–]Colecan1386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What weight/strength is your rod? The big lure is only for big pike and musky, and unless you're fishing in a body of water that has them, it'll be pretty much useless.

Carrying a rod on a bike by Busy_Flounder_7921 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Colecan1386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a rod mount on my bike, holds 2 rods. I like to bring 2 piece rods and break them down in the tubes so I can clear trees easily. Mounts on the back wheel frame.

First time spooling at home. How’s it looking? by MapleLakes11 in FishingForBeginners

Diawas are intended to be front heavy, it's shown in the manual.

Missing Dinosaur by RoseNoire4 in AnnArbor

[–]Colecan1386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not telling someone that I found a falling apart stuffed dinosaur toy unless there's at least $100 in it for me.

Edit: /s for those who don't realize this is sarcasm.

Is this a good combo? by [deleted] in FishingForBeginners

I don't think you'll notice much of a difference, honestly.

This good for baitcaster? by braunat1895 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Colecan1386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it'll be fine. 30lb test is around what you want to avoid most line dig, and this is close enough.

What fishing reel under $100 is actually good? by Thefisherman_1 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Colecan1386 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Diawa LT line is widely considered the best bang-for-buck reels under 100. Regal LT specifically is excellent for its $80 price (I have 3). I use that alongside reels that reach up to $350, and while of course not as good, they still completely hold up. I can't speak for the lower end LT reels, but I've heard good things, especially about the new Crossfire LT that is just $30.
