Hey guys!
I decided to get a Shimano Curado 200DHSV. Looked at it in the store today and I really liked it. Plus the nice rebate makes it even more enticing!
I haven’t ordered it yet and will order it online later today or tomorrow…
I am trying to find a nice rod for the reel that is under $100.
I will use the setup for bass fishing and inshore flats fishing. Any suggestions?
Also can you suggest a quality braided line (and line weight) that would be optimal for my setup?
I have a reel that can hold 310 m of 40lb mono , if i was to put 40 lb braid on it how much line would it fit?
i was thinking of ordering a 50lb spool of braided line, is this excessive. i usually fish for bass and catfish, and recently i have seen a few catfish jump out of the water at the local pond who’s heads were at least a foot and a half across. and with 20 LB line i would hate to hook it and have it get off. Also i was wondering which brand of braided line is the best to use at 50lb. Its between “PowerPro Braided Spectra Fiber Micro Filament Line”, “SpiderWire Stealth Braided Fishing Line”, or “Berkley FireLine Braid Fishing Line”
I have a MH 6′6 2 piece ugly stick, 30 lb braid fireline, and an abu garcia C5 Mag 5600
rod $30
line $14 (got 300 yds)
reel was $105, got it for $50
Sow aht set up do you use, and how much does it run?
Ok… so now that im getting pretty heavy into fishing (those who continuously help me out know and i thank you) im having a hard time/conflicting opinions on what type of fishing line to use. Am looking for opinions on types such as “braided” “Fluorocarbons” “Monofilament” and the list goes on. Just want to see what you guys prefer or refuse to use and why… Thanks
Right now I am using 8lb fluorocarbon, and I am having success, but I really don’t like the feel of it as far as casting and sensitivity. It feels like it stretches out and gets weaker when I’m yanking out a snag, etc. I like the fact that the fish can’t see it though.. I’m thinking about switching to a thin braid or maybe one of those superlines??? What about that fireline crystal stuff, it always catches my eye at the store, but I haven’t tried it.
I would be using a .55 to.60 mm monofilament as well as braided line of same diameter for casting in big and wide rivers from the river banks. I would like a long cast multipurpose rod of not more than 8′2″ in length(the shorter the beter). Something that can cast all shorts of lures and baits and to be used for varous fishing techniques.
The hair boutique website has step by step instructions:
what is your absolute favorite brand of fishing line that you use?
what poundage do you use?
do you use monofilament, fluorocarbon, or braided line?
what are your favorite fishing knots?
thanks for all answers!!
I’m fishing for largemouth bass I was wondering if 65 lb Sufix braided line was to much and what mono line it was compared to (in thickness)
