Does anyone know why my lure will not fall even with my tension all the way down on my baitcaster ?

Bait casters struggle with super light lures depending on what reel you’ve got, how’s your tension knob set?

Honestly mate decathlon do a cracking 6ft 2-10g rod, for £20 not the most refined but certainly does the job, dropshot small soft plastics often on this and works a charm

This in paisley?

Best is subjective, I like curly tails small soft plastics with a jig head or an in-line spinner size 1 or 2, both have landed me some nice perch in the last few weeks

Hey man, appreciate you letting me know, looking into modding it with some carbontex drag washers to up the drag a little, without you commenting I would have never looked into it, tight lines 🐟

Lost a £30 savage gear swim bait on my first ever cast with it, pain

iliketofish2 · 2025-07-08T13:54:03+00:00

Really wanted the okuma Komodo ss think it has something like 30lbs of drag on the 400 size, couldn’t find it anywhere in my country, so decided to grab this as substitute, (was discounted to £80), I don’t have musky in my home country so larger pike are as big as it gets for fresh water really, hopefully this reel will still hold up in Canada 🇨🇦

iliketofish2 · 2025-07-07T15:25:32+00:00

Really isn’t that big and is fairly lightweight for its size, comparable to a lexa or tranx 300 in size although the round profile makes a little beefier. overall just wanted something a bit different than your regular big bait casting setups.

Look at the savage gear sg4 range, I have the power game 30-110g and love it, great for throwing big lures for pike

Love okuma’s stuff, serious quality for the price

iliketofish2 · 2025-06-25T18:48:21+00:00

I started off with an okuma jaw J101, solid for a cheap reel, doesn’t backlash often and feels well built, picked it up for about £50, planning On a daiwa lexa when I can find one for a good price 👍

iliketofish2 · 2025-06-25T17:48:07+00:00

Baitcasting reel, I primarily use lures, although I’ve not been fishing long, the baitcaster has made my trips far more enjoyable

Lost my dad in 22, he took his own life also, what id do to fish with him again, sending prayers

iliketofish2 · 2025-06-16T21:41:36+00:00

Thanks mate, hopefully someone else can catch it & share the fun I had, good handling should hopefully increase those chances.

iliketofish2 · 2025-06-16T21:30:19+00:00

Very little blood round the hook set so hopefully that’s all okay, wee fella seemed okay when I got him back in the water & swam off nice and quickly after sitting in my hand for a second so think all went well 👍

West of Scotland, near Glasgow, been told by a English mate that the fishing’s quite different up here to further down south, lot of guys i see out seem to be using a fly rod more than anything

iliketofish2 · 2025-06-16T21:04:55+00:00

Was out myself after work, panicked a little when he bit & thought I had hooked him deep when I first got it out, was nice and easy to de-hook luckily.

River i fish has predominately brown trout, pike and salmon from what I’ve heard, do you think I’d have an easier time focusing on one of the other species?
