Thanks, i will try all the tip listed. If i have time i will stop by some shop and maybe get some more bait, although i don't really know how to fish crankbaits or spinners so i will probably have to look up how to fish with those.

Hey guys, im currently moving to a different state but i will be stopping by my grandparents house to fish there. I won't have much time so i'm going to prepare before hand. The problem they are having is that, even though they can see big fish in the water, the fish aren't biting and they have been there various days and times but still no luck. It's a small like as well with clear water. They where also using live worms as bait as well. Since im traveling, my stuff is going to be light, i only got worms and 2 frog lures available to my use and 20 lb fluoru and 30 lb mono. Im going to try using a 7 inch worm on a worm hook and try the various colors i got. Any other tips before i get there? Thanks

So im looking for a good scale i could set my drag on and weigh fish on it, Any recommendations on what to get?

Thanks for all the information, there is a local craiglist add for 1 i might be interested in so i will check that out for sure. I live in southern AZ and the nearest major fishing place like bass bro shops is 3 hours away from me.

Ok, so I'm starting to find interest in angler kayaking. I was wondering what kind of kayak should i get? I'm totally new to this concept of fishing so i have no idea what to look for. I plan on using it for lakes and rivers with small currents. The range for money is pretty much under 500 dollars preferably. Thanks

Thanks makes more sense now. Also I'm not that type of person, i don't mind casting and retrieving with a big rod and reel. I also switched to this reel because there is a lot of brush and grass where i fish in and i'm just getting sick of tired of losing countless hooks, leader, sinkers etc because i cant reel in with my other rod and reel. My 30lb mono and some crank baits work wonders in the grass and make catching fish like bass and catfish easier for me. That and i also plan on using it for surf fishing when i go to cali for vacation Thanks for the tips everyone i appreciate it.

Alright i get it know just 1 more question. Lets say im using a 65 braided line and i hook a fish lets say 40 pounds. Would i be able to reel this fish in using my reel and rod rated at max of 30 pounds mono? I looks at the specs section of the power pro website and i found out i can have up to 150 lb braided because it the same as 30 mono. which is crazy to me lol.

Yes this is for saltwater and freshwater. Is there some type of conversion i could use in order to see how much braided i can put on and what pound test? And also from what im reading, when i use braided i can get better line lb test then if i used the mono? I'm still very confused about this haha.

Ok but isn't 60 lb line too much for my real? its only rated at 30 lb and so is much rod. Woulden't this break my reel or rod? That's the thing i quite don't understand about braided line

Hi i'm new to this forum and i was hoping i could get some questions answered here. I'm finally grasping the fishing basics of mono line and pretty much everything to that point. My Avenger abf 90 holds 30 pound test line at 330 yards. I was wondering how much braided line will it hold? and should i also put the same pound test? so a 30 pound braided on my reel? I heard some people put on bigger lb on their reels like 60 lb. i'm not sure how that works and i would appreciate it if some people shed some light on this topic. Thanks
