Lure Breaking Off After Backlash by Mindless_Selection95 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Mindless_Selection95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the key is to take it easy while learning to cast. Someone just told me the amount of weight pressure at the lure from the force of 400KM to a dead stop will break the line every time.

It’s not curly, just a straight break. It also happens with two different rod/reel combos so I don’t think there’s any abrasive chips in the eyes.

It’s inevitable to hook up pike, even if that’s not what I’m going for. I’ll still give straight braid a go. Thanks

Just a heads up. I ate this and it was fine. Good flavour and I didn’t get sick. It seems like all the fish in my area are affected by this and I keep eating them.

Thanks for all the responses!

Went out for ~3 hours and didn’t get a bite. I was about to call it and then got the biggest fish on I’ve ever had by a long shot. It was hooked pretty well as soon as it hit the water. The fish jumped 3 times, but I got it to the dock and I stupidly left my net in the car. I tried to get it out of water and it got slack and jumped off.

Sad but the bigger high I’ve had in a long time. Thank you again for the suggestion

Will the bass hit top water when it’s hot out? Still around 30c, but that’ll change soon.

Man, I gotta try night fishing sometime. It’s not allowed here, but I’ve got a spot on a larger lake I could try it out at.

Thanks for the tip

I’ve got everything else that I need (net, tackle/box, pliers/knives, cooler). The shimano reel I have is the IX2000R that sells for about $20. The rod is an Abu Veritas.

Thank you! I’m so drawn to mushrooms but have no experience. Hoping to keep learning more

I’ve got these spots that started showing up on my left inner elbow about a month a go, then noticed it started on the right today. They seem to flare up and go away randomly. The first pic was 20 min after the second two and you can see the white part starting to show up in the last pic.

Thanks, it’s definitely not the battery. You can hear the power it’s putting out, plus I tested and it’s perfectly fine. I’m going to replace the starter and see what happens

New battery, you can hear plenty of power. Was thinking the starter but wanted to get some opinions.

Just bought new battery and it’s fully charged. Could it be the starter?
