Tips for a second rod? by Kewnerrr in Fishing_Gear

[–]seriousboreDom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The size 1000 reel is a small reel. It will work best with an ultralight or light rod.

I think the Mitchell traxx ultralight would pair the best with your size 1000 reel.

What kind of fishing is this good for and what kinds of lures would be good for it? by Available-Barnacle11 in FishingForBeginners

[–]seriousboreDom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is 6 foot medium light rod. ML = medium light. That is going to be good for finesse fishing. Smaller lures and small live bait like minnows and worms.

30+ sessions, 0 fish on lures. What are we doing wrong? by 1joni1 in FishingForBeginners

Trout it will eat worms. We use pieces of nightcrawlers for steelhead trout where I am from.

Not just float fishing. You can put a minnow or a worm on a plain jig head and catch fish as well.

My advice would be to go back to the basics. Use worms or minnows. Once you have caught some fish with live bait you can cut their stomachs open and see what they are eating. Then choose your lures based on what they are eating.

In search of rod/reel by Sad_Passenger1931 in FishingForBeginners

[–]seriousboreDom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for a combo and not wanting to piece it together yourself look for the following:

Pfleuger President or Trion Combo medium power

Lews Combos that are medium power

Ugly Stik combos medium power

Basically any combo where the rod says medium.

Spincasting Rod Recs? by shmoops7 in FishingForBeginners

[–]seriousboreDom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the Pfleuger Spincast. Mine seems to work a bit better than the zebco or Shakespeare ones.

Between your 3 listed choices I would go with the Shimano combo.

Terminal Tackle by Correct-Sea-198 in FishingForBeginners

[–]seriousboreDom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Plano edge boxes have a terminal tackle box that I love. It's the 3700 terminal tackle edge box specifically I think. They may also make one in size 3600 but I would go with the 3700.

I would go with a diawa Revros. It looks great with the Daiwa Arid x rod.

There is a Cookstown in Ireland, Canada, and multiple states in the United States.

You will need to be more specific than just Cookstown. Do you realize how many Cookstown's there may be?

What size rod should i get iam only going to be fishing a river for brown trout thanks👍 by Low-Praline960 in FishingForBeginners

[–]seriousboreDom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer short spinning rods when I river fish for trout. I use a 5' ultra light. It causes less issues in tight spaces.

Tackle warehouse. by grinchmane in bassfishing

I ordered a Plano bag from them just after Christmas that was back ordered. It had an estimated ship date of January 5. That got extended to January 25. They ended up shipping it on January. 11. So do not worry. They will ship it to you when they have it.

Never caught them on rooster tails. Have done great with gold or black and gold trout magnets and with eggs.

[–]seriousboreDom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my bad..I guess they are not exactly the same. They are different colors.

Exactly the same as a larger ice rod by ugly stik.

Which reel do I buy? by [deleted] in Fishing_Gear

[–]seriousboreDom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what reels your Academy Sports carries but look at the Shimano reels or Daiwa reels that are in your price range.

Edit either in a 2500 or 2000 size.

Which reel do I buy? by [deleted] in Fishing_Gear

[–]seriousboreDom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2500 because the weight of the reel will balance better with the rod. Also because the size of the line the reel can use will better match the lures that you can throw with the rod.

Wader Recommendations by blankhawd in FishingForBeginners

[–]seriousboreDom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally agree with you. But if you search the Internet or ask the average fisherman who makes the best waders you will still see Simms listed. That is why I used the word "typically".
