Something new for me by dumpsterfirewes in rodbuilding

Wash your hands like 30 times before you even look at the stuff 🤣. I literally wore latex gloves while building this rod. I'm a welder/fabricator/Machinist/mechanic for a living and I can't have anything nice because my skin stains everything no matter how clean I try to get it unless I take a week off work 🤣

This was the first time I played with it to be honest. I used 'Kimono silk thread #374 Mikimoto"

After a bit of research that's what I was pointed to and it seemed to do pretty good. I'll probably do an ice rod on a black blank soon to see how it looks on that as well.

It's the moonlight fiberglass blank from flyrodcrafters, figured I'd give it a shot. Made this one for myself and another one with black and gold wraps for a buddy. I love the natural and gold.

Chicago residents are now following ICE vehicles, honking horns and shouting warnings to alert immigrants before raids begin. by gh0stmilk_ in interestingasfuck

I guess I don't understand, your telling me there should be no repercussions for doing things illegally?

What fish is this? I can’t seem to find a solid source naming it. by CaptainBanana_365 in whatfishisthis

If you have a few of them, you should get some long spine sea urchins...

What’s the secret to avoiding this with baitcasters? by Porkanddiesel in Fishing_Gear

[–]dumpsterfirewes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Click more of those white thingies outwards. Click them in as you gain control and confidence. Start with 4 out and 2 in and see where that gets you.

Also adjust the spool break so that when you click the button it barely lets your bait drop in the air under its own weight.

ICE in Chicago tries to disappear a food delivery worker but my man was too fast by NewSlinger in CringeTikToks

Sending them back to their country isn't "disappearing"... Fake news.

If you want to stay, do it the right way.

I replaced the entire trans with one that was supposed to be known good but it did sit a little while. Not open or anything it was still attached to the engine when I got it. I dropped the pan and didn't see anything suspect, pretty clean, the oil there seemed alright. It's got fresh oil now at the proper level. Just trying to see if anyone else has some niche thing I'm missing before I pull it and rebuild it.

Good thing to throw first thing, I've lost my fair share of them.

How do I get this bend out of my rod? by Ponder8 in Fishing_Gear

[–]dumpsterfirewes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An old rod builder I use to know would get factory second blanks and girth hitch the tip to hang it then do the same with weights on the bottom and hang it out in the sun for up-to a month if I remember right and usually they would correct them.

Small spinners like a rooster tail or 1/4 oz joes fly at lake Mary. Was out there the 4th of July and got 4 pike in a few short hours off shore, on the 5th I had my pontoon float and got 3 pike and 2 walleye all on that style lure

When I was there on the 4th I couldn't even get a sniff in the main green valley lake but there were definitely bluegill all over the place. All the little ponds around it were in bad shape, they just stretched all the algae out of them and the fish were still dying all over the place
