My dad and I like to wade fish rivers for bronze-backs. Before I was seriously into fishing I just took the one pole I had. Now however I have several set ups to choose from and I’m not sure sure which one to use.
Of these options which one would you suggest?
6′6 medium heavy bait casting with 8 pound monofilament
6′6 medium action spinning with 10 pound fluorocarbon
Buy a new rod and reel specifically for wading for smallies
I do have 2 other set ups, but they are out of the question because they are heavy action with heavy test braids.
I am leaning toward the baitcasting because I don’t want flouro due to the fact that I may use top waters. Yet at the same time even though I have confidence in my skills on the casting reel, it may be hassle-full to deal with a backlash while in the water. I have some cash so I wouldn’t have a problem buying some new stuff if I don’t have anything well suited for wade fishing.
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?
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.
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)
I need a baitcaster combo. I am fishing for perch smallmouth and largemouth. What action should i get? And how long should my rod be? Also what pound test braid should i get to catch those fish? for under 60 dollars
It doesn’t matter if you used mono, fluorocarbon or braid line as long as it is a 6lb test line. It could be a freshwater or a saltwater fish. It doesn’t matter if you used a leader or not. However, please do not include catches that utilized a shock leader.
The group was not Faith No More. It was around 2004-2005 when they released this song. It shows the group in like a open house dungeon and a gold fish flopping around on the ground. What group was this?
What is all the necessary equipment for ice fishing besides the Rod and Reel? Why do people have the portable heaters and point it towards the ice hole, is this so the water doesn’t freeze. I just bought a Ice fishing Rod and was wondering can i use my Shimano Symetre 2500FI with 10lb braided test for ice fishing or do i need something smaller with a lower test.
Also if you do not have a depth finder how do you no how deep your fishing when ice fishing also what type of baits work for ice fishing. Live or Fake? Are Crappie minnows with a jig good?
Also I do not want to spend money and carrying a heavy Motorized Ice Auger so do those cheaper Hand Ice Auger work effectively. There are also different sizes for these Hand Augers what size is good?
Thanks so much- if you haven’t notice this is going to be my first time Ice fishing.
Thanks for the help guys
