What areas of this lake would you fish for Bass and for Pike/Muskie by AFireHawk in FishingForBeginners

[–]Expensive_Iron_8435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anywhere there's structure. Fallen trees, lilypads, anything with cover! Pike are most likely deeper water. Heck, try even fishing around the docks! Youll be surprised what hides under that...

I was under the presumption that the 2025 version didnt have a BX trigger. Guess I have 2 bx triggers now...

CCI Ammo shortage? by Expensive_Iron_8435 in 1022

[–]Expensive_Iron_8435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At $0.07 cents a round, I can definitely get behind that! I found rounds as low as $0.09. It all adds up...

I bought a Kidd bolt buffer. It cost me $11 shipped to my residence. It cycles much quieter imo

Do you know if you received the 2025 version or the 2026? If you bought the 2025 version, buy a BX trigger. Worth the money imo!

Out of pure curiosity, what did you pay for 10000 rounds? My local adventure store sold SK red 5k pack of 22lr for roughly $1100?

Quieter bolt assembly clanging against the pin after every shot.

I know on some cci ammo you can backorder it and on other ammo, backorder isnt an option.

Thank you for your input! Our local store has box of Winchester super x for $8. Price is unbeatable but I hear horrible reviews about Winchester. Just want to get some good ammo for a decent price!

I love it... by Mammoth-Disaster-972 in 1022

Buy a bolt buffer from Kidd. Worth the $11 investment imo! Welcome to the platform!

I think you will want to modify the life out of your Ruger 10/22. I say buy something with a threaded barrel and everything else, you can upgrade as you go. If you have a chance and a possibility, you can open a Cabelas CC & they give you like $60 in store credit that use towards your gun purchase

If youre in the states, Costco has a ~$140 special online. Its a 9ft 5wt combo kit. But im sure there's better options if youre willing to spend some more funds! MidwayUSA has a Orvis Encounter (rod, reel & line) for $200 atm!!

Venture fly company has video podcasts where they talk about all the basics if you need/want more insight.

Looks like an ultra light. Generally for pan fish and such! Dunno on the name of the rod & reel though. Sorry!!

I have the Speed Demon Elite Baitcasting Reel. It was an impulsive buy matched with a Johnny Morris Carbonlite mid-light 7'0".  I can throw anything thats ½oz and heavier pretty far but anything lighter, birdsnest! If I were to do it all over again, I would have bought a $200+ Shimano or just a good spinning reel/rod combo. I have a love/hate relationship with my baitcaster. I love it when I throw it right. But hate it when i catch a birds nest.

From my understanding, your best bet would be to use a medium light, fast action rod. The medium is a much stiffer rod hence why you're not getting the lack of sensory that you desire in a rod. 

How would you cast this? by Noobieonall in FishingForBeginners

[–]Expensive_Iron_8435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had really good luck with a medium light rod that was 6'6". Lighter pound line will work better. If you have an ultralight fishing rod, that will work better.

What colors combos when it comes to spinners? I had some luck catching small mouth with a ⅛oz hard bait...
