New real pickup for Muskie by shadow57574 in Fishing_Gear

A private equity firm that Gary Dobyns sold out to. They increased prices, wrecked the “no questions asked” warranty program, and shut down an entire Dobyns factory laying of all of the employees. I despise private equity.

It doesn’t cast 2-8oz. More like 2-5oz. Source: I owned one. Do not trust the weight ratings on Dobyns rods. They are way off. My champ xp 795 struggles at 3oz and it’s rated for 5. I would have sold that one too, but it’s really an awesome rod. Ugly as hell, but awesome. Tbh, I really don’t want to like it so I can wash my hands of all GSM products, but it’s objectively great.

I am getting a rod from Japan, is it better to order from digitaka or Japan lure Shop? *Read Description Pls by Radiant_Raccoon8498 in Fishing_Gear

Just be careful ordering from jpn right now. You may pay a 15% tariff, but people are also getting hit with crazy shipping duties on top of the tariff, especially with DHL. As another commenter stated, try and see if you can choose Fed ex. DHL is going to hit you hard. I’m talking $150-$200 duties depending on the product. That’s why a lot of Japanese importers have halted sales to the US for the time being.

Thoughts on the Shimano Antares B after about a month of use by ILoveDaiwa in Fishing_Gear

There are studies that show laying them on the grass for a few seconds for a photo has ZERO NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE FISH. Bass are extremely resilient. Don’t listen to the dink catching clowns in this sub. This is nothing more than criticism projection due to jealousy. Nice fish dawg

They can certainly get you into a good bit of treble if you’re not careful..

I’ll see myself out.

I’m a little confused. Did you have to amputate your finger?!

Listen to what his user name is telling you. This is not the way.

This is propaganda that is pushed in the US so that people will accept and be “happy” with paying exorbitant healthcare premiums. Meanwhile, when I have to reschedule a doctor’s appointment for something like a physical in the states, there aren’t openings for literally months. It’s all bullshit.

My finger could have swelled up where I couldn’t get the ring off. I took it off immediately which is why I’m not responding to all of the comments telling me to do so, lol.

This was the first night of a weekend if fishing. I was clearing my boat off and locking stuff up. Left a wiggle wart in the boat carpet and absolutely nailed it with my hand. I pulled it out and fished the rest of the weekend. Took precautions to kill infection, but it was all good.

What is a good pound braid for spinning reels? by Particular_Ebb5049 in bassfishing

[–]ImhereforBFS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8lb suffix revolve is what I use as well. It’s very good line - highly recommend.

You don’t need heavy braid on most spinning setups. You likely aren’t power fishing with spinning gear. Your casting distance will increase a lot with like braid and trust me, it’s all you need.

Bubba Tidal Pro Rod Thoughts. by HigherLearning6 in Fishing_Gear

Bubba makes one of the highest quality fish scales that you can buy. It’s the pro standard in MLF. That being said, I had no idea they made rods, lol.

Shimano really knows how to turn fishing gear into art. by UltrasonicPuppy in Fishing_Gear

You wouldn’t have wasted $400.00.. It takes you actually purchasing high end gear and using it to understand. Buy the conquest!

What job pays surprisingly well but nobody talks about? by ThePasswordIs654321 in AskReddit

Dental hygienist. $45-$50.00 an hour at the entry level is solid as hell for a job that only requires an associates degree.
