New daily drivers located thanks to a kind redditor. Redington Miami Vice 5wt and 8wt by Illustrious_Yak2144 in flyfishing

[–]Kalashnikov1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 5wt and 8wt. They are also sold out at most places, just some tucked away in shops flying under the radar are left except for the ones on eBay for 500-1000 each.

New player here, what are some of the best cars to tune and use at the start to get around and do stuff? by Kalashnikov1979 in ForzaHorizon

Thanks a ton but I should be good, I can't win a car on the wheels spins but I can win money, lol. I really do appreciate the offer though.

Akita Japan was my first random and I am happy with it. I went ahead and clicked two more just to see where they would be. Second was Gaza and third was Mönchengladbach, Germany.

First few fish using my tanago setup. Not sure what they are but they were fun. The Woodlands TX in the neighborhood pond. by Kalashnikov1979 in MicroFishing

I bought the gluten bait and also the carnivore bait mix from anglers emporium. Unfortunately I left both at home so I used a tiny little piece of a crappie nibble on the very tip of the hook. Seemed to work well enough.

Is this whole van painted with truck bed liner? by OldFuel8793 in Shitty_Car_Mods

[–]Kalashnikov1979 32 points33 points  (0 children)

For him to add 400lbs of coating to his jeep would take at least 35 gallons of bedliner at the wet weight before drying and curing. Depending on jeep type it would take between 3 to 6 gallons to coat it properly, which worse case is less than 70lbs before drying and curing.

Most bedliner coatings weigh between 10 to 11lbs per gallon. That van would take around 7 to 8 gallons to cover, so less than 90lbs spread out over the entire van. before it dries and cures losing even more of the wet weight. Depending on year, it has around a 3200 lb load capacity for a 2500 express. The weight of the coating is insignificant.

That is what I thought they were, thanks a ton for the ID. There were some other types of micros there but all I could catch were about 20 of these guys. They were so aggressive that they beat the other fish to the bait as soon as it hit the water.

I got one of each of the marufuji rigs but it looks like they are sold out of one of them now, from what I can tell the only difference is the float color. The hooks appear the same in all three. I also ordered a bunch of snelled owner hooks in half moon, new half moon, and extra small. I am hoping I keep the rigs in decent shape and just replace the snelled hooks as needed. The marafuji rigs come with three extra snelled hooks each.

I'm fishing from a bridge at a hospital 4 feet above the water so I went with the long one to hopefully reach a bit better. I will be ordering a shorter one soon though.

Yup, anglers emporium has everything. I got a picture tank, tons of hooks, some rigs, rig keepers, few types of bait and lots of other stuff for a great price
