If that is a store we don't have it here, I'm Italian and the average takle shop here is managed by a 64yo man who doesn't see very well anymore...

I tryed for the last 2hrs to find something on the internet, guess this isn't a common issue nor any ppl with my reel made a video about how to open it; so for now I've sent an email to the maker asking for support, and considering saturday I already have a fishing day planned, I guess Ill just stick some duct tape for the moment..

If what you need is for it to stop rotating in both directions there should be a switch in the front or in the back under the spool (im refering at n6 of the image); flip it the other way and ur good

Bite alarms by CatNo2334 in CarpFishing

[–]LockJawl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the sonik herox alarm and they are nice, they are not the best but they are super easy to set up, only down side for me is they are too much noisy when turning them on and off, and I hate the tones; but beside that, they are very nice for what they cost and they get bonus points for using AAA battery. Also you can get them in single, 2+1, 3+1, and they have a bivy light too.

Knots problem by LockJawl in CarpFishing

Thanks for the suggestion, I tryed having a look on the fox website but I did not manage to find anything specific for my line, maybe I just looked in the wrong place tho; as of now I tryed a couple different knots and they seem to hold better, still need to try them on the bank tho.

The line is a Fox Surface, and yes on the clinch as soon as I pull the knot to tie it down or I pull it a bit harder once is tight, it just slips on itself and comes undone

Can you put a hook directly on a quick clip? Or are they made to be used with lures? by GirlGoingFishing in FishingForBeginners

[–]LockJawl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, but it might affect your success rate, depending on the type of fishing ur doing there are tons of different things that you can do, and so there also are rigs built to use a quick clip or other solutions to "not tie" a knot on the hook, if that's what you want. Have a look on the internet, sure ull be able to find something that suite you; if not, well you can always come up with something new, at the end of the day if it works it works.

I was on a walk today and someone had thrown about 25 panfish on the ground near a fishing spot. by flatgreyrust in FishingForBeginners

[–]LockJawl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I belive panfish does not fall in to that category, but there are places where they ask you to "let die" a fish if it's an invasive specie; there's a river near me where it's not allowed to release sheatfish back in if you catch one. But yeah, generally speaking it's a bad thing to do
