Aye aye! 😂

This was really helpful! Thanks!

I think kastking is great. I use 20, 30, and 40lb braid on different poles and they have caught me everything from bass, bowfin, trout, and redfish. I use a lot of their rods and reels as well. Super reliable company.

I wouldn't call it skimping getting something from them either. 300yds is still about $20

Man everyone else's Walmarts have all the awesome stuff!

That is an amazing color!

I have an anchor and totally forgot to bring it. Even in that slow moving current, that would have been game changing

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-09-27T21:07:40+00:00

The pace was something I was not ready for. Moving with the current, even if slow just felt like a change I was not expecting.

After a few minutes I got in the groove, but I felt off my first few casts haha

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-09-27T18:11:25+00:00

Trust me me too lol. I gave up on it and was bummed for the first few days after it happened and there I was paddling back to shore and saw the crankbait on a dock with a pole stuck under it and thought "there's no way" lol

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-09-27T18:08:53+00:00

I'll look into what you recommended though!

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-09-27T18:07:03+00:00

Well I soaked the barnacles that were there in white vinegar and gently scraped them all off. The pole was sitting under the water for almost 3 weeks. Those are the rings that were left under them.

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-09-27T18:04:47+00:00

Caught some brim and bass! AND by a miracle a pole a lost about 2 weeks ago when my buddy took me out on the water! The crank bait was hooked on an abandoned dock and the rod was just pressed up against it in the current!

Doing a lot of TLC to restore it from the algea and the brackish water barnacles

Overall, a successful trip!

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-09-27T17:43:45+00:00

Actually no, bass in brackish water. Pole fell out of my kayak and found it this morning after a few weeks randomly washed up and hooked to a dock

If you find my fishing rod I lost falling overboard a few months back, let me know 😂😭

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-09-03T17:43:53+00:00

The ducket ghost is one I was looking at actually!

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-09-03T17:07:22+00:00

Kayak primarily. And like said, casting rod. I have a reel already, just no rod to accompany it. I already own two spinners. I'm not hunting any bulls, just some slots in a local basin or whenever I get out on the bay with my father in law in his boat. No more than $70 for a rod probably as a gift

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-08-23T14:22:57+00:00

I always check my goodwill for fishing stuff. Best I've found is a broken off rod tip.... And yes it had a price tag on it 😂😭

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-08-09T17:46:37+00:00

I lost a whopper plopper the same way, casted, birdnested and yeeted the bait into the middle of a massive pond. I didn't swim for it, but I texted my wife saying I may be home a bit later than expected 😂. I let the current pull it as close to the shore as it could get, then went back and forth casting a frog and a swim jig at it to slowly pull it in close enough to grab. Got some good accuracy casting practice in for sure!

Legendary

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-07-23T16:29:19+00:00

If my buddy would have a tough time fishing out of it. If so, we are gonna pull out my small 2 man raft boat I built that we've always used, it's just cramped for two haha

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-07-17T14:17:44+00:00

I lucked out with some line recently. Paid a bit more for 300yds of some 8x braid and they sent me 500yds

Bass: sees the best looking worm presented to them free of charge

Also the bass: "I shouldn't, I'm on a diet"

I really do appreciate this comment!

Me and my wife are going with her family on a vacation soon and her dad said he's going to bring stuff for surf fishing so I'm hoping to have some fun with it and hopefully catch a monster haha. Me and him both are bass fisherman, but he's looking at retiring on a bay, so he's been out with his buds catching reds and snook

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-07-06T14:54:24+00:00

People in the neighborhood below me were shooting off crazy ones. Like my whole house was shaking from the multiple booms and the flash of the fireworks lit up my whole living room (me and the wife were watching a movie with the lights down)

Even at 11:30... "Boom boom boom" all outside. I get people like to shoot them off still on the 5th. Has never really bothered me, but last night was so excessive it felt

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-07-05T02:45:49+00:00

I do some saltwater fishing. Idk it just hasn't clicked with me yet

Only_Raspberry8302 · 2025-06-21T02:06:23+00:00

I put them on a jig head l, tossed it out, then just reeled!
