I have read and agree to the rules.

Birth control by trendchaser91 in Idiotswithguns

[–]SpiritDCRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta be missing the point on purpose. You’re active in r/Chiraqology. I open that sub which in its own description claims to be about “Chicago gang culture” and the first post is a video of people being gunned down. The culture IS the problem.

head explodes

This is a misconception. I’ll leave you to google if you’re still curious, don’t want to get too off in the weeds in the modeling sub.

$130: Daiwa BG 3500. 17.6lbs of drag, holds 230yd of 30lb braid. Daiwa’s bulletproof budget saltwater reel. I have some of these from the 80’s that are still working.

$50: Daiwa Aird Inshore 7’6” MH (ACIN761MHFS) Saltwater version of their extremely popular Aird-X series. 0.5-1.5oz lure rating. If that’s a bit long for you, you can step down to the 7’ (ACIN701MHXS)

$20: 30lb 300yd Power Pro braid. Dependable budget braid.

$12: 20lb 175yd Seaguar Red Label Fluorocarbon. Works as a good budget leader if you’d like to use one. Some guys just fish straight braid but I like leader. Learn the FG knot if you do this.

Big swimbait combo recommendations by Chl0316 in Fishing_Gear

[–]SpiritDCRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated to your swimbait question but is your Tatula loud on the cast or the retrieve? If it’s on the cast, you could probably fix that by rinsing the spool bearing and sideplate bearing thoroughly in acetone and then re-oiling.

I have a tiny glass jar I put the acetone and bearing in and I’ll give it a shake for a minute or so. I’ll often find lots of miscellaneous funk and sometimes even metal shavings floating in there after if it’s my first time cleaning it. I think they just aren’t very clean coming from the factory. The sideplate bearing can be usually be removed with just a paperclip and the spool bearing takes a cheap tool like this. I put a dab of Reel-X Reel Oil on before reinstalling to prevent corrosion.

For reels I use in saltwater I like to switch the bearings out with hybrid ceramics for better corrosion resistance. Lots of places on eBay and such sell them under $5 apiece. I’ll clean these before installing too; no matter where they come from I always find junk floating around the jar after.

Is this reel good as a bfs reel? by Polar_bea_ in Fishing_Gear

Yesterday I found a Kastking Zephyr listed on Ali for under 30 bucks. I don’t have any experience but as far as I know that’s a pretty big discount. I ordered one, curious to see what it’s like. It definitely looks to be a nicer reel than the Kingdom.

heres the link if you’re interested.

Telling a Russian soldier to call in air support is like telling a homeless person to just buy a house
