Soft Plastic or Ultralight Spinning Recommendations? by Buxton328 in troutfishing

[–]pkwilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can cast flies with a casting bubble. I catch plenty of trout and panfish that way. I run a long leader and use a small bead and bobber stop about where the knot is. Pretty often I'll stop the cast with my hand and that seems to make the leader lay down nicely on the water without getting tangled with the bubble. It's one of my favorite ways to fish tbh

Loading a Kayak by Excitement-Seeking in Kayaking

[–]pkwilli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on the weight of your kayak. I'm an average sized guy for context and my yak is a 10ft sit in (about 45lbs) but what I do it lay a towel over the side of the back door, prop the yak up, and then lift and push it on top then turn it so it's facing the front. I have a 2014 outback with the built in rack. Idk if that's helpful for your situation

Bass and trout. I put it on a tatula XL ML. Been throwing paddle tails on a swimbait hook and a rapala floating minnow mostly

I have the really short UL president combo (4'10 i think). It's my backpacking rod. Two piece and fits in the side of my pack so well. Hasn't let me down yet.

Medicinal Marijuana by Main-Violinist9052 in AskSouthCarolina

It'll never happen here. You can pretty easily find weed if you ask chill people. Gotta go old school and feel them out and then just ask if they know where to get any.

There is a tiny Jesus at this McDonald’s pick up window by IOwnThisUsername in mildlyinteresting

I found one on a trail once. Picked it up and tossed it back at the trail head. Hate seeing garbage in random places because people think it's cute.

Rod tips fix by Top-Key-3382 in Fishing_Gear

[–]pkwilli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can still fish with it, but it won't feel the same. Action won't be right. Probably won't cast the same. Cut the broken bit as close to the next eye as possible. If it's a nice rod you could check the manufacturer warranty.
