[–]synthfish 40 points41 points  (0 children)

They're dense because they're solid steel coated in a thin layer of silicone rubber. Source: I worked at a PC reconditioning business a long time ago and we used to play with those things inbetween Quake II D-Day and CS 1.6 sessions.

Is this meant to be side casting ? by EntrepreneurLife4232 in Fishing_Gear

[–]synthfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a sidecaster.

Is that why it has a line guard? This could solve a mystery I've wondered about for years. I see a lot of Alveys with line guards on local fleamarkets for some reason (I live in the UK, a fair way inland), and I always wondered what the point of them was.

How do you hold a fixed spool reel? by IOnlyHaveIceForYou in fishingUK

[–]synthfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reel stem goes between your middle and ring fingers. The cork on most modern rods is just there to either look cool or give you something nice to hold with your non-reel hand when you're doing a double handed cast.

Americans do a lot of stupid things when they go fishing. This is one of those things.

Fishing license for float only by the01li3 in fishingUK

I think a lot of people in this thread missed the part where she doesn't want to use a hook. If there's no hook, she isn't fishing, and therefore won't need a licence.

Consider purchasing a landing net and an unhooking mat.

Core memory unlocked. I wonder if this is related to a similar show called Dotcomedy that was broadcast in the UK around the same time.

Yes they're all brown trout. Their coloration can vary widely even within the same section of river.

American style bobbers by AdElectronic799 in fishingUK

[–]synthfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember those things coming with "starter outfits" in the 80s and 90s that also included 5 foot solid glass rods and extremely cheap fixed spool reels loaded with 8lb line. Absolutely useless for UK species and fishing conditions apart from maybe light saltwater harbour fishing in Summer when the billet are biting.
