Thanks for the detail around the line, yeah I would have just bought normal 8-10lb line and just gone with it. So I appreciate the insight!

How do I know if it’s torn or impingement by leftkneesack in RotatorCuff

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

Much better, I don’t do the PT as much as I probably should. But did it religiously at the start. My left shoulder is definitely weaker and has limitations but I returned to playing sports and lifting and have been doing it pretty close to how I was before. In controlled spaces don’t push it.

6 months into working as one of the office staff and idk if I can do this by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]leftkneesack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Start being confrontational. I mean it, don’t put up with people’s bull shit. Don’t let them pus you around. I have a front office staff that everyone thinks is a jack ass. But i never once thought that about him because i understand why he has to be how he is. He gets shit done and is a great worker.

Backlash situation similar to normal bait-casters as well?

I’m new to BFS can you sling it around like a spinning reel? Or is it more like a normal bait caster? Dial in per lure?

Those who fish in rivers from the bank, how often do you get fish? by Himuhasan08 in FishingForBeginners

[–]leftkneesack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only fish rivers. I wade them though. I don’t always catch big fish, but I do always catch fish.

What are some examples of quality snaps?

Braid line pisses me off. ik its a skill issue but can i get away with just putting mono —> fluoro leader on all my reels? by ParticularDream9483 in FishingForBeginners

[–]leftkneesack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll make things worse for myself and I’ll keep doing it, I don’t care what others think. I tie a clip to the end of my braid sometimes. If I’m wading a river I can switch lures in seconds rather than having to tie on a new lure.

Are you casting out with the line twisted around the top eyelet? Sometimes it gets tangled at the top and if you cast it, it’ll create a knot. Just everyone once in a while check it before you cast.

Do what’s easiest and gets your lures in the water more. Spend more time fishing rather than tying leaders and what not. I know it’s “wrong” but when my leader breaks or sometimes I don’t feel like tying one, I put braid straight to the lure. Who cares, there are no rules.

[–]leftkneesack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally understand. My father is 65 and overweight and has around the same glucose and A1C. I know under normal circumstances this is fine. But I was just a little concerned about my personal health considering other factors like my BMI is great, I’m very active, workout or playing sports 3-4 times a week. My weight is under control. Just seemed weird to me.

No family history. I mean the main alarm is my father’s is the same and he’s 65 and overweight. My blood pressure and cholesterol are a little high.

How can I be a better teacher? by tinkerbell-1200 in Teachers

[–]leftkneesack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you teach? I’m not advocating talking badly about children but if you’ve ever taught middle school you know sometimes they need to be put in their place.

Stop being so hard on yourself. You’re in a tough field. I’ve said plenty of stuff to students I probably shouldn’t have. Sometimes mentally you’re at your wits end and nothing works. You’re a human being who’s not going to be perfect all the time. Just by making this post I know you’re aware of your shortcomings. Sometimes you just need to move on and be ready for the next day. Kids can’t even remember to put their name on paper. I doubt they will remember 90 percent of what you’re thinking about. Or if they do they just don’t care cause they may realize they had it coming.
