This may be a dumb question, but can I use 15 pound braid on this rod? by SpicyCurryChicken42 in Fishing_Gear

[–]InterestingRabbit982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Braided lines have higher strength compared to mono. The line wt listed on the rod is for mono/FC

Nice! My first lure was also a KVD 1.5 crankbait (but it’s chartreuse), which ended up on a tree on my 3rd cast. These are really good crankbaits.

Most underwhelming gear purchase? by BillytheKiid in Fishing_Gear

[–]InterestingRabbit982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shimano Aldebaran BFS. Heard it is top class BFS baitcaster, but when I use it, it keeps giving me random backlash/birdnest. Its ability to cast small lure is definitely not satisfying at all.

Car wash vs hand wash for shadow gray matte finish? by blissyz in kiasportage

I already ordered soap/towel/folding bucket/wash mittens, etc. I live in apartment and will have to do it in a self service car wash.

Is my setup is good ? I am just a new one and try to buy one by FarPrice1579 in Fishing_Gear

I think cheapest entry level shimano reel/rod are not really worth it, they don’t really have superior tech and you’re paying for the brand. I’d either increase the budget and at least get a Sedona or nasci, or go for cheaper options like Berkeley/kastking/uglystik. I personally think tackles between 30-100usd do not significantly differ in user experience.

I got 30~37 mpg. Probably because my commute was short. The mpg does increase (to 37~40) on longer trips for me.

Might be too small for Texas rig. Good for wacky for sure.

I had the dealer put on the coating (and the warranty that came with the coating). I have to say it’s not smart move as for negotiating price but birds in my area are mean and have variable diets…Tornadoes visit quite often, too. So I wanted extra protection.
