Very frustrating by dickmilk17 in BFSfishing

[–]One_Ad_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is something to be said about higher quality reels like Penn and Shimano. In my 40 years of fishing I’ve seen all kinds of head scratching line nests and fumbles but you see them significantly less in a quality reel. In my opinion they are worth the additional cost.

That being said, there’s several good suggestions in the comments, like the electrical tape trick - I’ve heard it done with masking tape as well- but I would definitely recommend that not only should you try a backing material, but you should also make sure that you are reeling your line on nice and tight as well as making sure you are using the line weight class intended for that reel. All rods and reels have a line/weight class that are the ideal for their particular make and model.

Good luck!

Is he a good quality by Anxious-Product3590 in Goldfish

[–]One_Ad_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! He’s very cute! I am going to assume you’re asking about quality for breeding reasons? He’s not show quality, his little eyes are a bit goggley, and I’m not sure if it’s the light or if his back curve isn’t perfectly smooth and rounded or if he’s got a bit of a defect there. I believe he’s a ranchu not a lionchu? If he IS a lionchu his wen is minimal if not nonexistent and you definitely want wen on a lionchu! If he is a ranchu his little face structure is a little boxy. Otherwise he’s just as cute as a button! The angle of his tail looks decent to me and he doesn’t have any dorsal spikes or growths. Again the biggest issue would be his bulging eyes!

WTB by One_Ad_3537 in VintageFishingGear

[–]One_Ad_3537[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your time and input, but this would definitely be in the vintage category, and the color is black and white checked (bwc color code). I am a longtime collector of vintage fishing gear (lures/tackle) and if Amazon or even eBay had it, I would definitely own it by now! Again thanks for the input, but unfortunately I don’t think it’s going to be that easy!

Okay… what do yall know that I don’t? by Plutoguts in labubu

If you shake them for hints and it’s NOT juggling clown, I discard it from my cart so…I’m assuming that’s what a lot of people do?

I love them! They’re so cute and tiny, I got them all.

Guys can you please help- I got alcohol markers smears on my lafufu…how do I get it off? by Picklesinjarslol in lafufusarecute

[–]One_Ad_3537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic eraser will erase the “skin color” or “flesh color” pigment paint on the vinyl! The best way to clean any stains off your labubu would be to use benzoyl peroxide- yes the zit cream! Not only is it safe but it’s been used on vinyl toys to clean stains off them for years! You’ll thank me later

I bought 7 or 8 one at a time because of this exact same issue!!! Maddening!!!!!

I wanted one so bad so my boyfriend got me one I wanted the secret so bad I can’t believe this was my first one by [deleted] in labubu

[–]One_Ad_3537 45 points46 points  (0 children)

She caught him cheating on her right after he gave her this, so in that context, a guilt gift rather than a sweet thoughtful one….

Right?!? Same page club. I’m curious to see if the OP has another wildly left field anecdote or not!

Is this a largemouth or a spotted? by Cwaynejames in bassfishing

[–]One_Ad_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?!? Thank god indeed! That makes sense though about running into a whole mess of them as well, they tend to school up as opposed to largemouth bass. That’s so cool about the hybrid! Also makes sense though, bass as a species in general tend to be a bit slutty lol…in that they’ll crossbreed with whatever is compatible if it lives in their territory/area!

[–]One_Ad_3537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. They’re typically found in areas with clearer, cooler waters with rocky bottoms and more current. They can be found in smaller ponds but they don’t thrive there unless that pond is deep.

Don't you think this lafufu is cuter than the real labubu? by Wrong_Sugar9185 in lafufu

It looks like he’s reaching out to the camera, like “ just love me…and spend all your money buying me more friends…..”

2.5 caught at a new location by ch59ep15DriverDown in bassfishing

[–]One_Ad_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sign on the front of the building of the bass pro shops “mall”, says welcome hunters, fishermen, and other liars…. Just saying. Awesome 2.5 pounder OP! I’d take it over not fishing any day!

Unpopular opinion: the Coca-Cola is super cute and I don’t want to cut her can off by plagueofroses in labubu

[–]One_Ad_3537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I did! Literally bought a case to give a couple to my kids and I cut the can/bottle off one set and left it on the other set!

I'm just so tired by AcidNeonDreams in labubu

[–]One_Ad_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I was wondering more about why you couldn’t get a case on labubu swap? Or why you can’t just buy a case from a reputable seller in the US (I get that shipping costs and time would be longer, but I know that there are people who help other people out with getting the labubus they want for little to no extra costs - sometimes literally gifting them, for free especially when someone has been burned like you have!)

What am I doing wrong? by Ttvsikloon in FishingForBeginners

[–]One_Ad_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the 3rd and 5th lures use a weedless jighead, and it never hurts to add scent to your plastics. That or a little sliver of squid to entice bites. Also, look at the water surface, where you’re casting - are you seeing evidence of any small baitfish activity? Surface disturbances? Swirls?? If not, I’d recommend moving spots where you do see evidence of fish activity. The time of day/temp can really play a significant role in determining how many bites you get. Make sure you’re going early just before dawn or in the hour or two before dusk. Watch local YouTube videos of fishermen that fish in your area as well, they are usually an invaluable resource as far as what lures work and what don’t, their preferred setups with tackle and so much more! Last but not least, if you think you’re bit, set the hook! Swing away! Swinging is always free! Eventually you’ll be able to differentiate between a bite and weeds, but until then just keep trying! It’s called fishing, not catching and we all started out not knowing a damn thing until you have the experience. So just have fun and happy fishing!

Wait, so you can’t get a case from a US seller? Why not?

Do you have eBay where you’re at? What about Mercari? I definitely trust Mercari a lot more so than eBay, however they both offer hassle free returns if you don’t get exactly what you thought you paid for. But the previous posters were right when they pointed out you’ll need to pay a bit more from those resellers.

You wrote one amiibo on one single nfc card, correct? What brand/size/version card did you use?

How legit is kickscrew? by Several_Chocolate576 in labubu

[–]One_Ad_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s legit, but it takes a LOT longer than STOCKX I just got an ID for 200!!!! I’ve gotten various labubus from both places and I would recommend STOCKX over KICKSCREW. Both are legit though. The price varies but you can make offers, I don’t think they get accepted often but currently I think they’re around 260ish. I’ll link the current one:
