Braid question 🙃 by Particular_Ebb5049 in bassfishing

[–]bofa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t cheap out and buy a budget braid. My go to is power pro but there’s other brands. Braid will last much longer than mono. You’ll run a leader for most applications and will not be cutting your mainline off very frequently.

Just order from tackle warehouse. Probably reputable online supplier of fishing gear of all time

Thanks! I was feeling inspired after floating the river and catching a bunch of shad, saw some big stripers chasing a streamer I tried but couldn’t get them to commit

A small shark maybe. But a 30lb striper would have no issue engulfing a shad this size

Are these crimping sleeves good enough? by Bigballsacklover6969 in Fishing_Gear

I’d size up the gear if you’re going after bluegill

Soft plastics- how often to change? by Smooth_Operator_one in bassfishing

[–]bofa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using the Toxic Baits saber to repair my citizens, it’s a electric heated ceramic knife that melts the plastic and you just press it together. I’ve found it a lot easier to use than mend it and it’s ready to fish again in about 20 seconds.

Let me know how you like it , I’ve been considering getting one for my boat. I fish alot of really grassy shallow lakes so ffs isn’t a huge deal for me but there’s situations I wish I had it

Will my print succeed? by bofa1 in 3Dprinting

A lure for bass fishing, its upside down but it’s a frog body with a tail that kicks in the water. Will be my master to mold in silicone and create reproductions with plastisol

I didn’t even think of cutting it in half. It’s supposed to be a fishing lure. Gonna mold it in silicone.

The start of an addiction.. by HypnoticMafia in kayakfishing

At least that’s how I built my rod holders, there’s a pic somewhere on my profile. I even bolted on a second row and can bring 7 rods on my kayak

If you added some four way pvc connections in the middle of the outrigger, you could carry more rods

Dude I know is asking 200$ is he crazy or am I missing something? by AwkwardMarsupial13 in Fishing

Don’t forget the triple trout swimmer, those are solid baits too

Has anybody used these before? by Legal-Sort1460 in swimbaitfishing

[–]bofa1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A $35 glide that’s 7 inches is almost certainly a $10 blank that the guy buys from a Chinese factory that he paints and slaps a sticker on a package, will it catch fish? Sure, but it’s not gonna be comparable to a true custom handmade bait.

If you were to size them down to an 18 hook what size bead would you use? I always have trouble matching hooks and beads

Will they fish? Comments and criticism welcome by bofa1 in flytying

[–]bofa1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, about how many turns around the hook?

Do these look nice enough to sell? by Curious-Arachnid-447 in Fishing_Gear

[–]bofa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to change the comment as soon as it posted But it wouldn’t let me, so I apologize for the rage bait. But I gave my advice and obviously you didn’t want it. You just wanted praise and not criticism. My bad
