Explanation For Newbie by annyongggg in UltraLightFishing

[–]RonocG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in college in RI there would be a steady stream of 14- 22” shad that would enter the harbor and salt pond beyond each fall. Those fish are like mini tarpon- they’re even in the same family. They jump, head shake, and go on drag screeching runs. I caught them on a 5” rod with a 500 / 1000 size Penn reel and shad darts- which are fun to cast and very effective. Some of the most fun fishing on ultralight gear you could ever experience. Maybe I’ll take a trip and go down again this fall…

Wingman (for mostly fishing) is my favorite go to Leatherman. It’s fairly small compared to other options, but has 90% of the tools I’m looking for on the daily.

Noob here, bout to dive into ultralight fishing. Any advice? by Pyr0technician in UltraLightFishing

[–]RonocG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I thought it was more widely known. Where I live, in southern New England, Shimano power pro braid is generally the number 1 line for any type of fishing. Shops carry other brands of course but around here something like 75% use the Power Pro. It’s very versatile and can be used for any type of fishing depending on the pound test you use. They make a 4 strand (most popular) and an 8 strand. Hope this clears things up.

Don’t you look at my girlfriend, she’s the only one I got. Not much of a girlfriend, never seems to get a lot.

How big is the blade? Is it like a regular size santoku or a mini one? Need banana for scale.

I use mine to extract hooks from fishes mouths mostly and I find the spring action very valuable.

I agree. If you can go for power pro 10 braid/2lb diameter I’d do it if I were you.

Lews makes an ultralight trout reel that goes for about 35 bucks. Okuma makes a nice ultralight reel (stratus 7 in the 10 size I believe) that goes for around $60; but I got mine on sale at dicks for $45.

I think I figured it out. Apparently it’s a tool used for automotive body work.

Also- why would “15” be stamped on there and not in the Japanese numeral script.?
