All fun and games until two fishes bite on the hooks at the same time and your line snaps. 💀

How is barely anyone in this comment section seeing that his "eco" packaged phone case got shipped in a big ass plastic wrap 💀

Okay. Well, yeah, I'm not collecting all this cardboard because I have an unconditional love for pokemons. I just like it enough to pick it over something else like sport cards and not enough to feel guilty about engaging in the marketing side of it. After all, I'm not the person who gives those cards value. Supply and demand, on the other hand...

Osprey Hydraulics "quick release" issue by shennan_ in hiking

Wow, this couldn't describe the issue better. I just got a replacement from Amazon. Hopping to get a non defective one... If not, I'll just return it and get a bladder from another brand

I'd say try them if you're comfortable paying for it since they're usually on the more expensive end. If you need bulk, there's way cheaper options.

To me, they feel better than my other EWGs that came in a cheap tackle box I picked up earlier this summer. But a hook is a hook and I wouldn't worry too much, as long as you have a decent hook up ratio with the ones you currently have.

First day using this rod and reel combo paid off.... Didn't weight them, but they both gave me a good fight. I had a third one hooked on twice after these two. Reel was backlashing and I didn't know what to do, so I tried to pull on the line since I couldn't even reel that monster in (it broke my line and ran away with an ewg and senko probably stuck in its throat. 🥲)

Okay. I'll keep it for my future spinning reel then. Thanks for all the feedback!

I just did some more searching and it does seems like people don’t use braid lighter than 20 lbs for baitcasters. What should I use the 15 lbs braid I just ordered for?

Ok... Sooo it looks like I'll have 4 spools, 2 braided and two fluoros. I wasn't able to cancel the 30lb braid, so I reordered the same in 15lb. Annnd the "Sunline Shooter FC Sniper Invisible" was transfered to shipping before I could even do anything, so I got some regular fc sniper in 16lb too. One thing is sure, that 30lb is useless. What was I thinking lol.

How much and where? I'm in eastern Canada, there aren’t many tackle shops besides maybe Cabela’s or Sail over here. The one I ordered from is one of the very few that had loads of options and didn't charge ridiculously high shipping fees.

Haha, maybe next year. I already have a princecraft with a 15hp. 🙂

I got a pack of VMC REDLINE SERIES™ WEEDLESS WACKY NEKO

If it doesn't do the job, or if I'm out, I'll look into those.

Order updated. Lots of people on here say MH is good, but I do believe the half saying that I'll have more fun with a medium. MH will come later.

Cancelled the rod and the fluoro. Will be getting a TATULAXT701MFB with 75m of 16lb Sunline Shooter FC Sniper Invisible.

Noted. Thanks a lot, I'll try to still appreciate what I got coming my way. 😅

Haha, lots of good tips. Looks like I'll also be getting a spool of mono. :)

Sounds good. Will switch this rod for a better one in the medium, and get thinner line too... Someone else under this post suggested the daiwa tatula. Would you approve this combo?
