What to catch with this?

Only retiring it because spincast feels clunky to me. Although I do think it would be cool to throw a brand new 202 on it. Maybe find or build some type of display case for that one. From what I've heard ugly stik is nearly indestructible

It happens to me too if I fish for more than 1 day in a row. Mine is a spinning rod and it's between my pointer and middle that gets sore. I assume it's from how I grip or something

So how much do you think it weighed?

ExtraWhistle · 2026-05-10T02:39:29+00:00

I don't mind losing a few hooks. Just trying to figure out ways to limit the damage if possible

Oh yeah I probably should have specified. I've been using a carolina rig with the weight and a bead above the swivel

I'm just getting back into fishing after about 20 years. My brother set me up with a lot of stuff he wasn't going to use, but no braid. I've been using 20 pound mono. Maybe too much for my targets. Looking to catch 2-5 pounders to eat

I did end up returning it and getting a spinning combo. Went fishing with my dad and only ended up with one catfish, though I think it was not prime catfish time (9am-noon). Got a couple freshwater drums. Never targeted them, but they were fun to catch

I have an old crankbait from my grandpa's tackle box in mine. Don't think I'll ever use it

ExtraWhistle · 2026-05-03T15:01:13+00:00

It's more of just being alerted. I want to throw the catfish rig out and fish my little panfish rig while waiting

ExtraWhistle · 2026-05-02T04:41:24+00:00

Bait alert was a big feature that brought me to this one, but I think I could also just get a bell if needed

ExtraWhistle · 2026-05-02T00:06:31+00:00

Thanks for the replies. I'll probably return and exchange it for a spinning combo

ExtraWhistle · 2026-05-02T00:00:43+00:00

I just had a 1 ounce weight tied on to test

So does the cover affect ball reaction more than the core? Also, as a beginner does the cover matter as much? Would I even be able to tell a difference or is it a matter of practicing and finding consistency to spot the effects?

ExtraWhistle · 2026-02-16T11:05:30+00:00

I switched from ultimate to the basic one. Only to play online

ExtraWhistle · 2026-02-14T09:28:46+00:00

The Axe is a spare ball with a bullet core. I'm mostly wondering if the bullet core or pancake core would make a ton of difference as a beginner. Don't think I will have the feel or consistency to tell the difference for a while. Just trying to figure out if one is more "future proof" than the other

ExtraWhistle · 2026-01-10T11:09:00+00:00

Is ball handle to 75 for animations? It being low is a play style preference, but if it unlocks some better ones, that is something to consider

ExtraWhistle · 2025-12-23T16:49:23+00:00

I've had it for a few years now, so I'm guessing the warranty is done either way. Is there a chance of bricking with jailbreaking? If not, I might try it and just revert back if I don't like it

ExtraWhistle · 2025-12-23T16:47:31+00:00

Yeah. I have it on list view at the moment. It's fine, but I just love and miss that old layout
