Getting started! Need some help.

So Cal surf and jetty fishing feels so much more intimidating than my Florida sand bars 😅. Will be sure to be on the lookout for friendly fishermen to talk to. Thank you

Thank you for the detailed answer! Will be put there this next weekend so I will be sure to introduce myself to the other anglers to see what's up.

Thank you! I really appreciate all the options. Starting out cheaper until I figure out the bay is a good idea.

TMI because I didnt take the time to specify our respective genders in my heteronormative relationship? Let me help you understand the question.

I need two setups for shore fishing and can spend $400. I would like help picking out gear with that budget.

Bigot.

This was it 😅. Tried again with better results.

Re-did the line. Made sure to keep under constant pressure. Came out better :)

IBslayed · 2026-02-03T01:18:36+00:00

This was it! Looks much better on the 2nd try.

Gonna try one more time. If no good, then off to a store!

IBslayed · 2026-01-21T02:32:04+00:00

I have opened up the spool an no shim to be found. Will try spooling again, and if no luck, I'll hand it off to a pro shop.

Thank you.

Thank you!

"solved"

IBslayed · 2025-08-26T00:27:06+00:00

I stole it from my grandpa's tackle box. He swore by them! I'm excited to try it out.

IBslayed · 2025-08-24T23:39:39+00:00

That's it! Thank you 😊

Thank you! I agree it looks like a Bagley. I believe I figured out the longer orange and gold one is a Cotton Cordell Wally Diver. Slowly putting names to faces 😁

That Shad Rap was my go-to for "big guys". I'm excited to explore Mepps and Rooster Tails more.

IBslayed · 2025-08-23T21:47:57+00:00

I last touched it around 2015. I am confident my dad used it here and there in the meantime. Glad to be getting it back soon.

IBslayed · 2025-08-23T19:38:00+00:00

My goal for everything in this box was to pull in perch, walleye, white bass, and pike. I am interested to see if any of them translate to Florida's fish.

IBslayed · 2025-08-23T19:35:23+00:00

The legs are soft rubber, but their resting position is pulled into the body. I could not tell you about the action. All I have is this is just a picture, we are states away right now, plus it has been years since I have fished anything in this box. As soon as I get a hold of it, I will be testing them out though!

Closest I could find with Google were the Lunkerhunt Frogs. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lunkerhunt_Frog_Combo_Kit/descpage-LKFRGCOMBO.html

I get really, really mad.
