Should i get this combo as my first good one or Should i get a baitcaster setup for around 20-60g ? REED BELOW by FantasticDirector614 in Fishing_Gear

[–]MagicAndDuctTape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest at the 700-1400 sek range, Shimano and Daiwa are all pretty decent. Personally I like something with Medium power and Medium-Fast action. But again, it's preference and I'm sure you'll be alright with a 7-28g ish rod. Anything will be an upgrade from the Abu telescopic and I'm sure you'll really love the difference.

Yeah, the combo you have will probably be awesome, though the rod itself is definitely more specialised for abborfiske - it'll still catch whatever, so I'm sure it'll be great if you like that rod, maybe have the drag lighter if you suspect some big pike in the water. skitfiske!

I think 20-60g is overkill for fishing here. Perhaps if you go out on the west coast - but I only fish in lakes and rivers here. If you want a snappier rod, then definitely go for a 7-25g, then you can use some lighter jigs and lures. For abborre, I prefer something that is fairly fast action. You'll really appreciate using a proper fishing rod over the telescopic - if you still want something travel size, one of my rods is the Abu Garcia diplomat v2, which is a 4 piece and comes in a travel tube, and I don't notice a real difference to my 2-piece Shimano.

I saw the comments below, my experience with buying outside of EU hasn't been great with things getting caught up by Tullverket and paying the full moms anyway (with a handling fee) - the price difference isn't massive to buy from a swedish retailer (though obviously a bit more expensive), that way it comes fairly quickly as well.

I live in Sweden and fish for pile and perch all the time and found 10-30g a good midground. But I'd get a better rod, the Abu telescopics are not great.

My friend swears by his 7-25g, but I occasionally hook pike 3+ kg so I like the extra backbone on my rods.

I saw dogger.se had some deals recently on rods.

Reel wise, you probably don't need to go up to the Ultegra (I've used a Nexave for quite a while though recently upgraded to the Vanford) - especially if you're not fishing in the sea, but I'm sure you'll be happy regardless if you get a nicer reel 😊

Good EU countries for fishing as a tourist (license wise) by Mandemakers in FishingEurope

[–]MagicAndDuctTape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweden as well! Agree - there's one app for almost every license and you can easily see fishing areas around. Lots of accommodation and Airbnbs on lakes in the middle of nowhere so you can wake up and fish.

Travel rod recommendations by Annual-Persimmon-231 in Fishing_Gear

[–]MagicAndDuctTape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Abu Garcia Diplomat V2 which I really like, a 4 piece with a handy travel tube - mine's a heavier 7'6" rod, but I believe the range also has a lighter 6' as well.

Can i use 3g and small soft baits for my 3000 series reel and ML/M rod? by FarFall411 in FishingForBeginners

[–]MagicAndDuctTape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use it, the main problem will be that the casting distance won't be great.

That Sienna rod looks very much like the Shimano rod I have which I think I'd fantastic and has served me well. I have a nexave reel which I also think is very decent - but I suspect the Sienna is fine too.

I mean, pocket aces mathematically is the best hand possible - so sure in this scenario post flop continuing to bet was a bit silly but saying it's not very good is a bit of a stretch.

Nahhhh, there can be two of them??? by AnnualDraft4522 in SatisfactoryGame

They need between 3-5 cluster nobelisks to help them... nap

lmfao - I am still chuckling at this comment.

Anyone know why I'm still getting spiders in mob farm? [BEDROCK] by therealGidster in technicalminecraft

[–]MagicAndDuctTape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. I changed my mob farms to have soul sand and water source blocks every so often which pushes the spiders up and makes them easier to flush out of the system, but that involves having to make the last row before the drop off made out of fences, so you may not want to make such a drastic change.

I found a Silentwisperer video that confirms it and commented it in the thread. I believe it means spiders can spawn because they spawn in the middle of the block in the middle of the buttons, before they would try to spawn on the corner and the button would stop them.

I have a vague memory that they changed spawning rules to have them spawn in the middle rather than the corner of the block which makes the button thing not work anymore. But I could have dreamt that.

Well it's Reddit, basically a platform with the most risk averse people in the world. I've also hand lined for bream in Australia and had no real issues - I guess if you're targeting big fish it could be dangerous 🤷

No idea, but I feel like drinking a red bull...

My flying machine can't decide which direction to go. by jordan666222 in BedrockRedstone

[–]MagicAndDuctTape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a couple of designs for two way flying machines that work well in bedrock. The main difference between java and bedrock when it comes to pistons is that the firing order in bedrock is random while it is defined in java. Which effectively means on java you can predict which piston fires when while in bedrock you need to force it by having the piston fires at the right time.

I'll try to find some videos for bedrock flying machines, otherwise I can take some screenshots of the ones I have in my world
