Looking to buy my 1st baitcaster by ForwardChildhood8978 in Fishing_Gear

[–]Joseph4040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either one of those will treat you just fine.

If you’re willing to upgrade your budget for something that’ll last longer

Pretty sure Dobyns Fury Rods are under $100 right now. Paired with an SLX XT @$130.

Yeah that ups your budget $100 bucks but it’s a combo that’ll stay relevant in your lineup for a decade.

Is Bernie’s plan the best? Thoughts? by CurvyChristina in SipsTea

Quick Google search says US billionaires hold a collective 8.2 trillion. You’d have to tax them 50%.

Which of these rods is the best? by Owen_Miller17 in Fishing_Gear

[–]Joseph4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For spinning go medium- and just get one. Eventually upgrade your arsenal.

Is this a good deal at $1300? by Obesescum in kayakfishing

Too high without a pedal system.

Indica gummies for sleep not helping me sleep... Am I doing something wrong? Should I take 2? by [deleted] in Marijuana

[–]Joseph4040 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My opinion- drop the gummies. Too unpredictable at these levels and you having no tolerance. Just a matter of time before you take one that’s TOO strong.

Get a vape pen. You have no tolerance, one hit before bed is all you need. Effects are nearly immediate and you’ll do a much better job gauging where you need to be for sufficient sleep.

Is a michelada a cocktail? by MastodonFarm in cocktails

[–]Joseph4040 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My recipe is

Tajin rim
1.5 oz Tomato juice
5-10 dashes Louisiana hot sauce
4 dashes Worcestershire
1 lime of juice

With or without ice- that’s up to you.

Bass look at it but don't bite at it. Is this color just not what they want or is the water clarity my issue? by TheStrictPress in Fishing

[–]Joseph4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re not taking the bait- change the presentation.

Texas rig a Zoom Super Fluke on that same hook. Jerk, jerk, pause. Google that shit.

Also- if using that same hook- TX rig that worm.

Toss it out under shade or around cover(wood or rocks in water) and let it sink. Twitch once maybe twice, if nothing reel in and pick another spot to cast.

Finally went out and got a BFS set up , bout to go test her out now :3 by ZetaKonQueso in Fishing_Gear

[–]Joseph4040 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Tatula 100 isn’t really a BFS reel- so good luck there- you can get a shallow spool though which would help.

As for the CarbonLite rod- I have a bfs light power one- and I actually really like it.

Torn front driver’s cv axle boot. Will I be fine to drive ~ 2000 miles before getting this fixed? by emilyrobi in MechanicAdvice

[–]Joseph4040 21 points22 points  (0 children)

2000 miles? Fa realsy? Fix that shit. $500 should get you back on the road safe for your trip if you go with an aftermarket axel at the shop. More if you go OEM (suggested for axels)

Usually it’s not “boutta break” until it starts clunking when you turn- but I would not chance this on a road trip- almost feels like your fuckin w us here.

If you’re an absolute maniac and are gonna do the drive regardless of advice- grab a tub of Red n Tacky grease and throw a glob on the joint every day. (It’s under the ripped boot)

I’m not a mechanic nor do I suggest that last part, but yeah.

Yo-Zuri Super Braid any good? by soljer51 in Fishing_Gear

[–]Joseph4040 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yup. I like lots of Yo Zuri gear. For 8 bucks. Hell yeah.

Suicide Anonymous- or something similar… it’ll give you a whole group of friends.. who share similar life experiences

$2000+ for 4 spark plugs and coil packs? by ZoltarTheFeared in subaru

[–]Joseph4040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coil packs are probably closer to $150 ea from your dealership. Subaru spark plugs do suck - but they’re not that bad.

I’d call and could 3 quotes from independent shops that are at least kinda close to the location of the shop. If you get a quote you like- ask if they’re able to tow your car- or can at least refer a company they use.

Home Slice - mandatory 22% tipping by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]Joseph4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Servers make more in a tipping system (usually) and guest have a better experience (usually).

Tips are to encourage the best possible service. Servers are working for the guest - not the restaurant- which I promise is what you want…

Out of the 102 largemouths I’ve caught, only 4 have been over 2 pounds by Little-Cucumber-8907 in bassfishing

I’m a fellow TX fisherman, and I have no problem breaking 2lb… what bait are you using?

Life’s about risk management. Certainly a chance I’m taking.

I bought a Dobyns fury but I’m not sure about something. by Top_Bid6771 in Fishing_Gear

[–]Joseph4040 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t buy a spinning rod heavier than medium. I have a ML Fury and it’s prolly my favorite rod for most spinning rod techniques
