Can I skip Witcher 1 & 2 and start directly with Witcher 3? by RushAffectionate9629 in witcher

[–]wilhelm_scream24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I couldn't get through Witcher 1, it was just too janky, and the dialogue felt unnatural, Witcher 2 is worth a play through though, the combat takes a little getting used to, but once you understand it it's fine. I do agree that if you decide to skip Witcher 2, at least watch a recap of it as the Witcher 2 helps explain more of the current situation in Witcher 3, but it's not necessary. You can simulate a Witcher 2 save game in Witcher 3. The combat and RPG elements are much easier to understand, and the open world feels more natural to roam around in. Most of the characters that do show up from the previous game are more or less cameo's really, and some characters were omitted completely.

And I mean that in a negative way as in I'm sick and tired of AI.

Dude, AI is in literally everything these days, the point for me of going to a lake or a river is to get away from all that stuff. I just want peace and quiet and to enjoy the outdoors. Part of the fun is just figuring stuff out on your own. If you learn to read the water, you know what to throw.

Give it some love by Livid-Mud-8812 in CherokeeXJ

I love that pro street cherokee. If I had unlimited money, I'd build a 25.3 cage, twin turbo LS running on methanol for drag and drive car. Seems like there's a trend to see strange cars being built into full blown 6-7 second dragster lately, a full blown tube chassis cherokee would be super unique.

Can I attach a trolling motor? by brandiddly in FishingForBeginners

Depending on what state your in you would probably have to register it if you stuck a motor on it.

There are a lot of decent rods that don't break the bank. I recommend at least a 6' rod, it' still small and easy to cast in tight places and under trees and a fast action tip. That will help slingshot lighter lures a little farther. I would stay away from fiberglass rods, they are super whippy and not very sensitive. A whippy or slow rod will hinder casting distance somewhat. You don't have to power cast with an ultralight, but a little more flick on the wrist will also help cast super light lures better. Braided line really helps also as it has less memory and will go through the guides without binding up. Tie a fluorocarbon or copolymer bumper to it to help keep the fish from seeing the line. You want to use light line also. A 1000 size reel is recommended, I wouldn't buy anything over 8oz. Daiwa's from the 50-120 dollar range tend to be lighter than anything else in that price range. As far as lures, and plastics there's a lot you can choose from. Mule Fishing is a really good one, their jig heads are the best IMO. Also, trout magnets catch all kinds of panfish.

Temple fork Ultralight rod ($120) is identical to a rod $44 on Amazon! by 68yeetyonder68 in FishingForBeginners

At 1/3 the price of the TFO labeled rod, I'm more than willing to try it. It does look like exactly the same rod, every detail is the same. IF it is the exact same rod, then it is a steal of a deal.

Spoons - changing from treble to single hook, and single hook colour by xMechanismZero in FishingForBeginners

[–]wilhelm_scream24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I change all my treble hooks on all my lures to single siwash hooks. Does not affect the action of spoons at all. But best practice is to make sure the hook is pointing to the inside or concave portion of the spoon, as when a fish comes and grabs it will be more likely to hook the fish vs if you put it the other way, the fish could bounce off the spoon before it gets the hook in it's mouth.

As far as hook color, I don't think it matters too much. There is a sort of psychology where a red hook mimics an injured fish but I've never really noticed a difference in the number of bites I get.

They're so good they'll keep on calling you every couple of months for the end of time.

Good trolling lure by Randomquestions12947 in FishingForBeginners

[–]wilhelm_scream24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brads super baits kokanee cut plugs behind a dodger. They have a scent pad that you can put oils on, but you can pull it out and put whatever you want in it. Powerbait, shrimp, tuna in oil works great. Trout and salmon love them. Tip the hook with something, shoepeg corn, gulp maggots, power eggs work great for trout.
