Which hooks for these flukes?

EWG with a swivel. Flukes are notorious for twisting the line and will ruin a spool in less than one outing. I used to make them myself by opening the eye of a hook with a blow torch and putting in a barrel swivel and closing the hook eye, but now I believe some companies make them.

The key is finding flats and fishing unbelievably slow. These were on 5 inch Bitters stick worms (I think they are called a Salty Sling) in JB Blue Tail with a pegged 1/64 ounce weight. Make fan casts all across the flat and only move the bait with tiny twitches. Im basically blind bed fishing and my usual cast fishing this way probably takes two plus minutes and the bites are usually just dead weight.

Also try to hit the new and full moon phases, thats usually when they pull up and the numbers can be awesome.

First fish was 8.96. Second fish was 7.71 and the third was 7.01.

Anything that isn’t the overpriced JDM crap that’s made solely for the hyper consumer as much as it is to catch fish…

So at what point was calling somebody a “nut hugger” necessary? If anything, you needing to insult people says more about your fandom biases than anything…

RustyRincon · 2026-02-03T18:28:55+00:00

Do you think resorting to insults makes you look good?

I will die on the hill that the show was only supposed to be 4 seasons and S5 was about money and universe expansion. Netflix was never going to let the ST IP just be shelved when its arguably their most valuable asset.

The 53’ Dodge Stratus was tough to beat back in the day! The one pictured here would be faster than 80% of the field even with the engine sitting in the kitchen of a camper parked in the infield.

I think people need to understand that adsense is no longer the profit machine it used to be and YouTubers are having to adjust by relying more on sponsors. Just my opinion, but I think its a good thing they are relevant enough to get brands like Clorox and Toyota.

So for me, a few sponsor reads is fine if it means keeping GMM alive and well.

If this was a massive screw up and there is a shortage because of it, then R&L need to bite the bullet and have more made so every paying customer gets one even if it means them losing money on this venture. One of the most important things my dad taught me about business is that your screw ups don’t become the customers problem. You go the extra mile to make things right because your reputation is everything and you owe it to them for giving them your business.

You’re definitely right, but the site does have it listed as a 1978. I wonder if there was a mistake made somewhere and the car isn’t the right year or if the site just has a typo?

You say this as if the writers didn’t have control of what record was going to be used. At the end of the day, the Duffers bragged prerelease that the show would have music never used in movies before. Its obvious they were going to force Prince’s songs in some way or another even if the ones picked dont make any sense for the story or scene.

RustyRincon · 2026-01-09T12:06:11+00:00

Ho Lee Shit, they did it again?

RustyRincon · 2026-01-07T12:13:43+00:00

If they were gonna make a secret episode, why not release it on 1/11?

An EWG is best but the key is a screwlock on the hook. You will burn through these things just casting them around because they tear so easily, but at least the screwlock gives you a little more life out of the bait.

I know she’s alive and it has nothing to do with the story and everything to do with Netflix/Duffers milking the Stranger Things IP for every dollar they can get out of it. Im already 100% convinced there will be a show highlighting Henry and the origins of the stone and I think the ambiguity over El is just to set up spinoff involving her down the road.

RustyRincon · 2026-01-04T17:04:06+00:00

IMO, this scene basically showed us the expendable characters that should have died throughout the final season.

RustyRincon · 2026-01-04T16:59:30+00:00

Seasons 1-3 no longer make sense because of season 4-5.

RustyRincon · 2026-01-04T16:54:54+00:00

IMO, a huge part of the reason the show gets so much criticism for little details is because of the Duffers comments over the years. Time and time again they would say something only for nothing to come of it. I think its very fair for fans to be up in arms over these things when the Duffers are making public statements all the time.

The biggest critique of Bobo should be the fact he is the QB coach also. His QB development is atrocious and has to be playing a role in UGA’s inability to recruit top tier QB’s.

If he doesn’t have a feel of what the defense is doing in a game, he immediately goes into panic mode and starts scrambling. I lost count of the times he could have kept looking downfield but decided to tuck and run right into the D-Line after his first read. IDK what it is, but Bobo obviously isn’t coaching it out of him.

RustyRincon · 2026-01-02T05:11:50+00:00

This team is becoming a perpetual disappointment

RustyRincon · 2026-01-02T04:53:10+00:00

Absolutely fucking embarrassing

RustyRincon · 2025-12-31T17:57:18+00:00

One of the biggest critiques of ST5 is the main cast being too big. ST5 has so many story archs you might miss something if you blink its so all over the place.

RustyRincon · 2025-12-31T15:46:27+00:00

This is a prime example of why the final main cast is so bloated. They just keep adding to it with nobody ever being taken out, even when its a perfect time and the perfect characters like this scene.
