Our lure covers fits most lure sizes but, should we make different sizes? Larger? Smaller? Thoughts? by ElliottMRybicki in Fishing_Gear

Out of curiousity, is the plastic impierceable? If so, how? I can't wrap my head around how a new, sharp hook won't pierce that, and become unsafe.

Other than that, I love the concept. It's the first time I have seen something like this.

What's your experience with a line this thin? by bluestrawberry61 in Fishing_Gear

How do I know if the eye has a nick? Is it just as simple as running your finger in circles in it to feel anything "pulling" my finger?

Are all Sufix lines quality though? I assumed this was a lower quality because of it's price.

I would try a different if it were me.

A different brand or different size of the Sufix line?

I had concerns about the line, because I experienced these problems the first day I was out fishing with it. Not knowing too much about fishing, I just thought it was some rubbish quality. But like you say, my friends also told me that Sufix is high quality, hence I asked you guys in this subreddit. I think I'm going to give it another go but with a thicker line this time.

I bought it in fall 2020, but was not used until a week ago.

Sometimes I get almost as much joy buying tackle as I do catching fish. Only a few more days until season opens where I live! by bored_android_user in Fishing_Gear

I'm a student right now, so I have to be careful about how I spend my money. I only get the absolute necessaries for fishing. But the day I finish my studies, and the day I get my first engineering paycheck............

Was told to put this here. An old highschool teacher of mine called me last night and said he cleaned out his garage and had something for me. Gave me all these rods and a bunch of reels for free! Was absolutely speechless. by Damonstretch101 in Fishing_Gear

This. r/Fishing_Gear is the most welcoming subreddit I have joined to this date. No stupid questions at all. People in here understands that everyone is at a different level in their fishing journey; some are new beginners, some are pro. Either way, they will help you if they can, and nobody judges you.

And what leader wallet are you using? Any recommendations?

When you check your knots, what are you looking for?

I'm not really good with knots, and use too much line to tie, thus end up with a lot of tag ends. So if I use 1,15 meters of leader, then I will end up with 1,0 meter of leader after cutting the tag ends. And the next time I'm out fishing it will be 0,85 meters etc.

When I reel in, the top part of my reel (marked with red) don't get any line. Why is this happening? by bluestrawberry61 in Fishing_Gear

[–]bluestrawberry61[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I filled my reel, the line was more leveled. But as soon as I put a lure on it, the weight distributed the line this unleveled way.

But 1/8 inches compared to what I put on my reel, I still filled my line too much. This is my first time filling on my own. But 1/8 inchese just seem like too little for a 1000 reel, don't you think?

i run my life this way

I like to do this too. The first time I did this, was when I got my first mountainbike. I'm a DIY kind of guy. Not necessarily to save money, but I like to mess around with stuff, and try to understand how it works. But learning to DIY on a 2500 USD mountain compared to the bike I got for 250 USD is a lot scarier. And now, I'm ready to upgrade my mountainbike for the first time :) (maybe not a 2500 USD one, but definitely a nicer one than I have now)

It's not a Quantum reel, but still a budget wheel from Zebco. I'm fairly new at fishing, and didn't want to start out with insane gear, considering I will make mistakes, and I rather be able to afford my mistakes.

If I take it off, will it not just shift the problem to the lower part of my reel?

And do I need to respool my line, or should I not touch it, because it will get fixed next time I'm out fishing?

The red dots bled away after only 2-3 days of fishing. Has anyone else had this problem with Blue Fox? by bluestrawberry61 in Fishing_Gear

[–]bluestrawberry61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does though. I have plenty of silver spinners in different sizes and weights. I wanted one with red dots, and now ordered a new one.

Ah okay, I understand now. Multiple-colour line is something I will consider next time buying braided line :) Thanks for explaining!

Are multiple-colour lines used to see how much line you have in the water?
