  1. Hello forum, can soft plastic baits mold together when all mushed in a bag?
  2. Well the rod I'm talking about did only cost $55...
  3. You're telling me that if the tip of my rod bends a few 1/8s of and inch to the right, that's nothing to worry about? Also, I did the same thing, and stored my rods leaning on the waal a bit. ( Only for 3 days, though.)
  4. Has anyone tried the QX36? Can anyone who has used it give me some feedback?
  5. Has anyone ever had this rod before? Is it good? Also, can someone give me some rod suggestions under $40? (Please don't tell me that if I want a good rod I have to spend $150)
  6. Hi, I have a question about my rods. When you lean rods (and reels)on the wall and the handle is really close to the wall, is this bad for the rod?
  7. Hello everybody, here in pennsylvania, there are about 5 inches of snow outside, so I was wondering if anyone knows any ways to practice fishing inside? I usually go outside and cast into a hula hoop, but with the snow, I am restricted to the indoors. Any advice?
  8. So do you take them off? What different action?
  9. Hello everone, I have a dumb question. So, on Berkley chigger craws and other soft plastic baits, on the claws of the bait, there are these thin, plastic connectors connecting the claws. Should these be removed? Are they meant to be removed?
  10. So a drop of oil on the worm shaft will do it?
  11. I read that to help keep your drag good, you should back off the star drag all the way. On my old Black Max reel, when I back off the star drag, it gets easier to loosen, then tighter. This normal?
  12. K thanks. Also, can someone please explain to me how to oil the worm shaft?
  13. I have a Shimano Citica, and I was reading the reel maintenance instructions on Shimano's website. It says to use Shimano's "bantam oil". I have Abu Garcia reel oil. This will work the same, right?
  14. No problems, I spooled it up, started casting, and it's a great reel. Thanks
  15. Ok guys, I fixed it. No more problems thanks!
  16. Well, I'm only 14, so you could call me a regular fisher (even thought I fish every other day)
  17. Ok thanks for the advice. I got the Sufix line and wow! What a difference! The line is never uneven on my Citica now.
  18. My uncle (a great fisherman) catches tons of large bass with a very old Abu Garcia rod and a very old Mitchell spinning reel. It's not what you have, it's what you do with what you have.
  19. how do I know if the spool tension knob is too loose or too tight?
  20. What do you mean putting one up wet?
  21. Ok then thanks guys.
  22. How long do you recommend the craw trailers be? Also, how long do you think the soft plastics could stay in a Plano box before they lose their flavor?
  23. To go 1/8oz. under the rod limit? I accidentally bought 2 1/8oz. cranks and my rod is rated at 1/4 to 1oz.
  24. I just bought a nice big tackle bag with lots of boxes. It has 7 boxes. I used one box for jigs, one for crankbaits, one for soft plastics, and one for terminal tackle. What should I use the last 3 for?
  25. I also hear a very faint noise when I reel in (It is very small). I haven't fished or cast with it yet, does it just need to be broken in?
